Re: purpose of spices
haldi-add color to your curry and it is also a healthy herb in that it is an anti-inflammatory for the skin…also many other benefits that i forgot…
ginger/garlic-for taste for the most part i think…also health benefits…like lowering Blood pressure etc.
onions- to thicken the gravy, add taste, and to act as a preservative for food.
zeera- i know it helps in digestion, also adds aroma.
dhanya…cilantro adds flavor and aroma…has health benefits.
