- Teppal has a unique flavor profile that is slightly citrusy and numbing, adding a distinctive taste to dishes. Here's how you can use teppal in your cooking: Toasting: Before using teppal, it's common to toast the whole dried berries or husks. Toasting enhances the flavor and aroma of teppal. Simply heat a dry skillet over medium heat, add the teppal berries, and toast them for a few minutes until they become fragrant. Stir them frequently to avoid burning.
- Grinding: Once toasted, you can grind the teppal berries using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Grinding teppal releases its flavor and makes it easier to incorporate into dishes.
- Infusing in Oil: You can infuse teppal in oil to incorporate its flavor into your cooking. Heat a neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil, in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the ground teppal and let it steep in the oil for a few minutes. Remove from heat and allow the oil to cool. This infused oil can be used in stir-fries, dressings, or as a finishing touch on various dishes.
