Cinnamon sticks, small, 8-10 cm, Ceylon cinnamon, Sri Lanka

Cinnamon is used in our kitchen almost only for sweets, for example, it is often flavored with cinnamon and cloves. But cinnamon is more versatile. In India, cinnamon is also used in spicy cooking, usually uncooked: the pieces of bark are fried in hot oil until they unroll - this is important to release the taste, then quickly lower the temperature by mixing with other ingredients Deleting tomatoes, onions or yoghurt. Even rice can be wonderfully flavored with cinnamon, together with green cardamom. The cinnamon pieces can be removed from the dishes before serving or serve as a fragrant decoration. This particularly aromatic cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka / Ceylon.
