Star Anise: The superstar spice

Product Description:

The spice that’s native to China is a key ingredient in our garam masala just like for the Chinese and their five-spice powder. The whole star anise in biryanis, chutneys, and kormas takes it high because of its warm, sweet, and spicy flavour. It’s a star is because it gives sweetness and a warm flavour to both savoury and sweet dishes.
Star anise, a tree species is normally regarded as one of the valuable spices. In India, this is grown only in few Areas of Arunachal Pradesh at high altitudes and is locally known as “Lissi”.
