Cinnamon:

Cinnamon is one of the spices which is made from the inner bark of the trees. This is a very versatile spice. Mostly uses this spice as a flavouring additive in sweet dishes but it can be used in curries and other Indian dishes.

Cardamom :

One more versatile spice at the heart of Indian cuisine which is made from the seeds of various plants. It has many benefits like it helps in digestive problems, contains cancer-fightening compounds, prevent cavities, control blood circulation, etc.

Black Pepper:

Black pepper is known as the king of spices in the India and is very valuable. It is famous for its spiciness. It is said that when the chillis are not imported in the Indian subcontinent, then these were used to add the spiciness. It is used for making each thing from garam masala to curries.
Like other spices, black pepper can be toasted before blending to give its best flavour. However, fresh black pepper can also be added directly into the dishes.
