    In Indian cooking, you are supposed to put all the seeds into the oil first. Putting them on top of the veggie doesn't bring the flavour out. Seeds spices give out their flavour in hot oil, the tempering (tadka) is what gives Indian food its flavour.

    Christmas cookies. Try round butter cookies with a small dollop of good buttercream frosting and just One
    Dragee in the center of each!
