Bring depth to biryani and pulao
Javitri and star anise are valued for the aroma they add to rice dishes and festive meals. Javitri has a warm, slightly sweet flavour, while star anise has a sweet, licorice-like taste. Used in suitable proportions, they can add another layer of flavour to biryani, pulao and other recipes that use whole spices.
Add them according to your recipe and balance them with the other ingredients. Both spices have distinct flavours, so using the right quantity helps prevent them from overpowering the dish.
Explore the flavour of whole Indian spices
Whole spices are often added during cooking to release their aroma gradually. Javitri can be used in selected spice blends and rich gravies, while star anise is used in some rice dishes, curries and slow-cooked preparations. The exact method depends on the recipe.
This combo is useful for home cooks who enjoy preparing traditional meals with whole spices rather than relying only on ready-made seasoning mixes.
