This 50g pack is perfect for those who want the intense, \"bark-like\" strength of cinnamon to stand up to heavy spices and long simmering times. These sticks are designed to release their flavour slowly, providing a consistent, warming base that permeates through thick gravies and slow-cooked meat dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Secret Pinch:\u003c\/b\u003e To create a professional \"Tadka\" or tempering for your dhal, snap a cinnamon stick into two or three pieces and add it to hot oil before your other spices. Breaking the bark exposes more surface area, allowing the deep, smoky-sweet oils to infuse the fat more rapidly and effectively than a whole stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCulinary Versatility:\u003c\/b\u003e A fundamental ingredient for \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"51\"\u003eMassaman Curry\u003c\/b\u003e, slow-roasted lamb, and festive spiced punches.

In traditional folk medicine and Ayurveda, the whole bark is simmered to create a warming tea used to soothe the throat and support the body's natural defenses during the damp autumn and winter months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStorage \u0026amp; Care:\u003c\/b\u003e To maintain the \"snap\" and fragrance of the bark, store in a cool, dry, and airtight container. Keep the sticks away from humidity; if the bark absorbs moisture, it can become leathery and lose its ability to infuse dishes with its characteristic sharp, sweet heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Top Op","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56839637270876,"sku":null,"price":1.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/2183\/6124\/files\/top-op-cinnamon-sticks-50g-whole-spices-514.webp?v=1788214918","url":"https:\/\/gopalgrocers.co.uk\/products\/top-op-cinnamon-sticks-50g","provider":"Gopal Indian Grocers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
