Question

Write a summery on 'the power of spices' based on the passage below Precious Jewels If rice is the heart of Balinese cooking, then spices are its soul. Steeped in their own fascinating history, they are the foundation upon which the local cuisine is built. Purple-red shallots, delicate miniature garlic, fragrant earthy gingers, sun ripe chillies, dried aromatic seeds and nuts are the essential spices in every Balinese kitchen. They hold a silent grace that speaks of power and vitality, and like precious jewels, are stored in a special place: in the dark in an aerated container. Every morning, the deliberate rhythm of the mortar and pestle grinding fresh spices can be heard coming from the depths of the kitchen. Body, mind and soul are energised as we pound the luscious red chillie, the sweet scent of coriander seeds, the warm orange glow of turmeric, musky nutmeg and aromatic peppercorns into a delicious paste. The refreshing citrus fragrance of lemongrass always makes me smile and the subtle note of torch ginger warms my heart. The root spices such as turmeric, galangal and ginger are like a grandma’s hands, wise and well worn. They are ancient seasonings that have blessed many cultures and carry with them a thousand years of memories and magic. They firmly embrace other spices with their flavour, colour and texture, to create a magic sensation that transcends language. Just as fire ignites offerings, so it is the same for spices. The volcanic stone is the essential element that brings these vibrant ingredients to life: through gentle bruising and grinding, hard seeds, herbs and fibrous spices are transformed into a powerful paste. Hot oil then releases their fragrance and flavour and water develops their intensity. Like a favourite tonic, a perfectly balanced spice paste nourishes the entire being. For the making of spice pastes and ceremonial food, piles of spices are chopped with handcrafted knives to a deliberate rhythm that echoes an ancient beat. This primal paste relies on a balance of aromatic, pungent spices which represent all that grows from the soil to the sky, the magic that lies beneath and above. Carefully selected and blended, the bitter, sweet, salty, sour, spicy and astringent flavours meet in dynamic harmony to form the basis of these sacred dishes.
