We teamed up with the home cooking superstars from the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen to bring you three essential kitchen blends that take dishes from meh to OMG-I-need-seconds-right-now. Frying or "blooming" spices in hot fat unlocks their full flavor. It’s a technique used across South Asian culinary traditions, and tadkas vary by region and the dish. This version balances earthy cumin and citrusy coriander with a triple-threat zing from wild hing, peppercorns, and Cobanero chili flakes. Sizzle 1 Tbsp of this blend in 4 Tbsp hot ghee or oil until it sputters and hisses, then spoon over soups, roasted vegetables, yogurt, cottage cheese or any protein for effortless flavor and pops of texture. Ingredients: Coriander, cumin, cardamom, black pepper, black mustard, tomato powder, Cobanero chili flakes, garlic powder, kosher salt, wild hing Cooking Tips: Sizzle 1 Tbsp of the blend in 4 Tbsp of hot ghee or oil and cook until it sputters and hisses Adds crunch and flavor to soups and stews
