Pantry basics
- Whole spices generally keep their flavour longer than ground spices; grind small amounts as needed.
- Store spices in airtight containers away from heat, light and moisture — not above the stove.
- Rinse most rice varieties before cooking to remove excess surface starch, unless a recipe says otherwise.
- Split lentils cook faster than whole lentils and are the usual choice for smooth dals.
- Imported foods must carry English labelling in the US; check allergen statements carefully.
