what is ground spice..can u plz d tell d name of each spices?
Allspice is a berry. In this recipe i have used powdered allspice. If u cant find allspice in grocery,
As a substitution for 1 teaspoon of allspice, you can use 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
A must-try for me!
