Spices and condiments are an important part of every kitchen. They make cooking complete and infuse magic in our food. Every person who wants to be an expert cook should have knowledge of various spices and seasonings used in cooking. So, if you are a cooking enthusiast and want to create magic with your food, here are a few seasonings that you must have in your kitchen cabinet.

•Cumin: Cumin is an herb that many associate with Mexican and Spanish foods, but it is also widely used in Middle Eastern and Indian Cooking and can be easily found at the grocery stores. It has a very distinct flavor, and lends almost slightly smoky flavor to the dishes.

•Garlic Powder seasoning: Garlic Powder has a full-bodied aroma with a pungent & savory flavor. Garlic seasoning powder which is easily available at Cosis, the leading seasoning manufacturer in Korea, complements casseroles, soups, stews and sauces for meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, rice and pasta, as well as many other savory dishes such as salads, dips, pizzas and bread.

•Black-pepper: Black pepper or black peppercorns are obtained from the pepper plant. This plant grows in tropical areas such as India and Southeast Asia to a height of several meters. Pepper is used in food for a number of reasons, for example: to liven up and give a kick to dishes that are somewhat tasteless and not very appetizing otherwise. It also has many health benefits associated with it and used in treatment of various ailments.

•Chili Powder: Chili powder should not be confused with Chile powder. Chile powder consists purely of dried and ground chile peppers, while chili powder is a combination of ground dried chiles, oregano, cumin, garlic and salt. It adds a beautiful depth of flavor to a wide variety of savory dishes and makes simple dishes interesting. Chili powder is most commonly used to season chili. It also shows up in enchiladas, spice rubs, and other Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes.

•Curry Powder: Curry powder is a spice mix of widely varying composition based on South Asian cuisine. It is added to some dishes along with other spices to enhance their flavor and aroma. While the basic ingredients used are the same, different food seasoning manufacturers have their own proportions so the composition differs from manufacturer to manufacturer.

•Cinnamon Powder: Cinnamon is the bark of one of a group of trees belonging to the same family and is one of the commonly used spices in cooking. Even though its use in many savory dishes is quite limited (there are some good ones). It makes appearances in desserts of almost every variety and is a beautiful accent to gourmet coffee, hot cocoa, and even plays well as the center stage in nice, cold milk-based drinks.
