spice grinding
Milling dried aromatics
Spice grinding is the process of crushing whole spices into powder or smaller particles, typically using a mortar and pestle, spice grinder, or coffee grinder.
Grinding releases aromatic oils that fade quickly, so cooks often grind spices fresh rather than buying pre-ground: The recipe calls for spice grinding just before adding to the dish.
