Key Spices And Ingredients For Indonesian Beef Rib Soup

What Does Cumin Taste Like?

Cumin has a nice warm and earthy flavor. When you warn the seeds in this recipe the aroma will offer a bit of both sweetness and bitterness. The whole seeds are best toasted in order to reach the optimum flavor.

Chilli

Chilli is a key ingredient an you can use only a little and it will make a huge difference to the overall taste. My message to you if you are afraid - is do not be - just use a very small amount to start with - you will soon learn just how much you need. 

What Does Coriander Taste Like?

Coriander or Cilantro (i.e the leaves of the coriander plant) is a tasty herb to almost everyone. It offers a pleasing combination of flavors which can be described as a mix of parsley and citrus. Cilantro is commonly used in many cuisines around the world.

Prepare your Ingredient

It really does help to get organized by getting all your ingredients measured and organized first. 

Why - because when you have never made a recipe before - having all your ingredients ready means that you can firstly check them off against the recipe before you start so that nothing is missing. 

Prepare The Paste

To prepare the paste first dry roast the cumin and coriander seeds in a pan over low heat for 3-4 mins. 

Be Careful not to have it too hot else they will burn. 

You can tell they are ready when they release their fragrant smell which you will easily sense.

Then grind them together with the peppercorns and cloves until fine - We used spice or coffee bean grinder.
