Hi, thank for the spice recipe. Does all the spice need to be toasted before grinding? Appreciate your reply. Tks
If I buy the spices to grind myself I toast them before. If I buy them grounded already I don’t toast the spices.
Thanks for the recipes. I’ve trying to find them in English so my grandson can use them when I’m
no longer around to help him.
