My first love…


In the kitchen, is this. My mortar and pestle.

After the initial excitement of having acquired this awesome pitcher is gone, mortar and pestle is back as my favourite item in the kitchen.
I crush garlic in this, and I staunchly believe that the only way to get the flavour out of the garlic and relish it is by freshly crushing it in a mortar and adding it directly to the dish.
I also use this to make ginger-garlic paste, crush peppers , cloves and cardamom. Basically, it is THAT one item that is most frequently used in my kitchen.
What’s yours?
