7. Chicken with Dried Fruits

Cinnamon is often associated with desserts and cookies — especially those enjoyed during the Christmas season — but there is no need to wait until December to enjoy it, as it is one of the most widely used spices in the world, featuring in both sweet and savory dishes. In this recipe, it is combined with turmeric to enhance the flavor of the chicken.

6. Zucchini Noodles with Shrimp and Broccoli

The beautiful yellow color of this dish comes from turmeric, a spice that has become very popular thanks to its high antioxidant content and anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric should always be paired with black pepper to boost the absorption of curcumin (its active ingredient).

5. Red Lentil and Tofu Curry

Curry is actually a blend of various spices — ranging from a minimum of five to as many as thirty, though most commonly ten to fifteen. Choose a finely textured curry with a rich, pleasant aroma and a mild flavor; this allows you to spice it up as needed with ginger, fresh chili, or other spices. To fully release its aroma, the curry powder should be heated in fat before being incorporated into the sauce or dish.

4. Indian Carrot Pudding

It is cardamom that gives this recipe its distinctive flavor. This spice has a characteristic aroma — potent, yet not pungent — so it should be used sparingly. It is best to buy the pods, extract the seeds, and grind them as needed, rather than buying the pre-ground powder, which is far less fragrant.
