Nitra Cloves (Laung)

About this item

Warm, intense whole cloves. Nitra Cloves, known as laung, are whole dried flower buds with a warm, intense, slightly sweet aroma.

Why cooks choose it

Cloves are powerful, so two or three are enough to scent a whole pot of biryani or pulao. They are a key note in garam masala and masala chai, and they warm up baked goods, spiced drinks and fruit compotes.

What to cook with it

• Clove-infused biryani
• Spiced mulled fruit drink
• Masala chai
• Home-made garam masala

How to use

Fry 2 to 4 cloves in hot ghee with other whole spices at the start of cooking. For chai, crush one clove with cardamom and simmer. Remove before serving if you prefer.

Pack sizes

Available in 50 g, 100 g and 200 g packs.

Storage

Keep whole cloves in an airtight jar away from light and moisture.
