The Art of Pounding.
Pounding, a time-honored method of processing spices in India, has been an integral part of Indian households for generations. This practice, steeped in tradition, is a labor of love that we bring to every spice we offer. It involves removing the outer layer of grains and gently crushing spices and herbs, a practice that has found its place in every Indian home through small-sized mortar and pestle.
Why Pounding Matters.
You might wonder why we choose to pound our spices when electronic blenders and pulverizing machines are readily available. The answer is simple – authenticity and flavor. Pounding is a laborious yet rewarding process that brings out the essence of spices in a way machines cannot replicate.
