>kari saramann ingredients

Dear friends, I am now back into circulation again after months and months of being out of the blogosphere. I hope you will still take me in.

For my come-back entry, here I am posting some of the spices that I use to make the Khmer curry called kari saramann that I made a while ago. Can you identify some of the spices?


If not, head over to the comment section where you’ll find the answers 🙂

Have a great week everyone!

  8. >Thanks for visiting guys!I myself didn't know these spices exist until I started cooking here in Cambodia. I used to only know chili and onion and lemongrass, but never heard of star anise, kaffir lime leaves and I didn't know that lemongrass leaves could be pounded to give curry a distinct taste.

  9. >@VioletSky: One of the great things about Khmer food is the freshness of it all. They prepare their spices daily, pounding and pounding them into a paste. No wonder the food is truly tasty and yummy.
