Spice bowls are a fantastic and homey way to prepare spices for that special and uniquely flavored dish. The common use for a mortar spice bowl entails placing raw spice material (seeds or plant matter) into the rounded bowl and pressing, dragging and beating it in a circular motion with a pestle. The product will be a powder or paste form of that flavor you've been meaning to capture. Many find the physical work of using a mortar and pestle therapeutic and novel - in an old-school kind of way. Why use a blender? You've got strong arms, elbow grease, and down-to-earth know-how, don't you?!
