Cinnamon Powder, Indonesian
£1.80 – £3.60
About this product
Indonesian cinnamon is stronger and more robust than true cinnamon, and due to this it is particularly useful for using in curries and other dishes which have quite a lot of strong flavours going on.
This powder is excellent when used as an ingredient in garam masala, and it is also a valuable ingredient in chai masala, basically any dish or preparation where a strong, vibrant cinnamon flavour is needed.
For times when a more delicate flavour of cinnamon required, we recommend that you use true cinnamon, most commonly known as Ceylon cinnamon.
In short, we like to refer to Indonesian cinnamon as the male (strong & robust) and the Ceylon as the female (gentle & aromatic) 🙂
