Adding spices to cold oil, losing part of their flavor

Heating oil before adding spices

Spices are essential elements that give food its distinctive flavor. When adding spices to cold oil, they do not react well, leading to the loss of part of their aromatic flavors. To solve this problem, it is preferred to heat the oil first over medium heat before adding the spices. This will help release the essential oils in the spices and enhance their flavor. Spices can also be added at the beginning of the cooking process, allowing them to immerse in the other ingredients and make the most of their flavor. To avoid this problem, always make sure to heat the oil before adding spices.
