Description
Star anise is the beautiful, star-shaped spice that bridges South Asian biryani, Vietnamese pho, and Chinese braised dishes with a single, sweet licorice perfume.
Pardesi whole star anise — badiyan or chakra phool — delivers intense, sweet anise flavor in its natural dried form. Drop whole stars into simmering stock, rice, and braised meats. Each star is a sealed package of essential oils that releases slowly into liquid.
