How to Use

Add 4-5 whole cloves to biryani or pulao tempering in hot oil or ghee at the start. Include in homemade garam masala along with cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaf.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many whole cloves should I use in a curry? Use cloves sparingly — 2-4 whole cloves per dish is usually sufficient as they are extremely potent and can easily overpower other flavors.

Can I grind whole cloves into a powder? Yes — a spice grinder reduces whole cloves to powder in seconds. Freshly ground clove powder is far more intense than pre-ground; use about half the quantity called for in recipes.

Are cloves related to any other common spice? Cloves come from Syzygium aromaticum, an evergreen tree — they are related to allspice, and the eugenol compound in cloves gives them both their characteristic aroma and mild anesthetic properties.
