Short description (Javantri)

thickles and chutneys are also commonly spiced with whole mace. Whole mace is difficult to grind, so it is usually roasted until brittle, then grinded.
The dried spice can be stored indefinitely. When needed, simply soak for one hour to rehydrate, and use as if fresh.
It's mildly sweet flavor is commonly used in infusions, such as flavouring milk for a white sauce, or marinated with processed meats.
