Retail – East End CINNAMON (DALCHINI) STICK 400 g

Description

East End Whole Cinnamon Sticks, or dalchini, for warm aromatic depth in sweet and savoury cooking

These are whole cinnamon sticks from East End Foods, labelled dalchini, the common South Asian name for cinnamon. The pack is a single 400 g bag, a generous catering sized quantity of dried rolled bark. You use the sticks whole to infuse dishes, then lift them out before serving.

Key Features

• One 400 g bag of whole sticks, plenty for a busy kitchen or a keen home cook who buys in bulk
• Whole bark keeps its aroma far longer than ready ground cinnamon
• Adds gentle warmth and sweetness to biryani, pilau, curries, stocks and slow braises
• Equally at home in sweet cooking such as rice pudding, mulled drinks and stewed fruit
• A store cupboard staple across South Asian, Middle Eastern and European kitchens

Cooking and Uses: Drop a stick or two into hot oil at the start of a biryani or curry to release the aroma, or simmer them in syrups, stocks and mulled drinks. Remove the stick before serving. You can grind small pieces if you need fresh cinnamon powder, and a little goes a long way.

Storage

Keep in a cool, dry cupboard in an airtight container away from light. Whole sticks stay fragrant for a long time when stored well. Check the best before date on the pack.
