Sathva Fennel Powder is a powder grind from premium fennel that has been dried under sunlight and is a highly desirable spice with a distinct flavor profile. Sun-drying fennel allows the seeds to retain their natural oils and essential nutrients, resulting in a more intense and robust flavor compared to commercially dried fennel. Thus, the fennel powder is full of flavor and aroma.
Fennel powder has a sweet, slightly licorice-like flavor and is widely used in various cuisines:
Curries & Gravies: Fennel powder is commonly added to rich curries like paneer b utter masala, korma, and dal makhani. Its mild sweetness balances out the heat from chilies and adds depth to dishes.
Breads & Flatbreads: Incorporated into bread dough for a mild anise-like fragrance. Works well in Mediterranean-style breads like focaccia and naan.
Cookies & Cakes: Often used in biscotti, shortbread, and spiced cookies for a subtle, sweet-spicy taste. Works well in anise-flavored cakes and pastries.
Vegetable Soups: A pinch of fennel powder enhances the taste of pureed soups like carrot, pumpkin, tomato, and lentil soup. Adds a warm, slightly sweet aroma without overpowering the dish.
Vegetable Seasoning: Works well with roasted carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin. Enhances natural sweetness while adding an earthy depth to the dish.
Herbal Teas: Blended with cumin, coriander, and mint for an aromatic and cooling herbal tea. Often consumed after meals to ease digestion and refresh the palate.
