What it is

Marathi moggu are the dried flower buds of the kapok, or silk cotton, tree. Small, dark and twisted, they look more like cloves than anything else in the spice box. They are a Karnataka and Chettinad speciality, roasted into bisibele bath powder, Chettinad masala and some home garam masalas.

The taste is strongly woody with a little warmth, and it only comes out when the buds are fried or roasted. Choosing between whole spices? Marathi moggu for Chettinad and bisibele depth; Natures Dagar Na Phool (Black Stone Flower) for earthiness; Heera Cloves for sharper heat.

Tip: Roast the buds with the other whole spices, not afterwards. One or two per pot is plenty.

Goes well with: Natures Dagar Na Phool (Black Stone Flower), Swaad Cinnamon Quills, Heera Cloves
