The big three: Rice, spices, and lentils — what to buy and how to use them

1) Rice: the foundation of family meals

Whether you’re cooking a Friday biryani, Sunday paella remix, or weeknight stir-fry, the right rice matters.

• Aged Basmati (long grains, floral aroma): perfect for Pakistani/Indian biryani and Middle Eastern pulao.
• Jasmine (delicate, fragrant): best for Thai curries, Vietnamese dishes, and quick stir-fries.
• Sushi Rice (short-grain, sticky): ideal for sushi, onigiri, and Korean kimbap nights at home.

Pro tips

• Rinse and soak basmati 20–30 minutes for long, separate grains.
• Steam jasmine with a pandan leaf for extra fragrance.
• Season sushi rice with warm vinegar-sugar-salt for authentic texture.

2) Spices: the soul of global cooking

From pantry basics to complex blends, your spice box is your flavor passport.

Pantry must-haves

• Cumin, turmeric, coriander: everyday curries, stews, and roasted vegetables.
• Paprika, cinnamon sticks, cloves: Spanish stews, Moroccan tagines, and festive bakes.
• Blends: garam masala, ras el hanout, peri-peri, and berbere for instant depth.

How to use

• Bloom ground spices in warm oil or ghee to “wake” their aroma.
• Use whole spices (cumin, cardamom, bay) in rice and slow-cooked dishes for subtle layers.
• Keep blends handy for quick weeknights: garam masala to finish a curry, ras el hanout for roasted veg, peri-peri for grilled chicken.

Comforting, nutritious, and versatile—lentils and legumes are staples from South Asia to West Africa and the Caribbean.

• Chana dal & chickpeas: hearty stews, chana masala, hummus, and salads.
• Moong (split or whole): soothing khichdi, crispy moong chilla, or sprouted salads.
• Black-eyed peas: beloved in West African stews and Caribbean one-pots.

Cook smarter
