Cinnamon Sticks

Whole cinnamon sticks are a fundamental component of South Asian whole spice cooking — added to the tempering oil at the start of biryani, pulao, and rich curries to infuse their warm, sweet, woody fragrance throughout the dish. They are also a key ingredient in masala chai, garam masala, and slow-cooked meat preparations. Cinnamon sticks provide a more gradual, nuanced flavour release than ground cinnamon, making them preferred for dishes that cook for extended periods. An indispensable pantry spice.
