Crushed Black Pepper (Kali Dadar Mirch)

Black pepper makes foods bolder versions of themselves.

Pungent, earthy, hot, woody, brash—pepper’s distinct flavor somehow pairs well with just about any savory food, and some sweet ones, too. If salt helps bring out flavors, black pepper makes foods bolder versions of themselves.

Black pepper has such a complex multifaceted aroma! Its smell plays with lots of nuances, from uplifting citrusy to grassy, evergreen and sweet. It is fresh, dry, warm and piquant.
