Ok, so you know how Manju was posting about dosas and other delicious Indian dishes made from millet? Has anyone tried to make naan, dosas, and those dumplings or balls he mentions with coconut or almond flour? Another question: you know how in baking you can often use extracts or flavorings? Like, cinnamon extract instead of cinnamon the spice straight from the spice rack? Well, is it ever possible to make extracts or flavorings with savory spices, like, cumin, tumeric, coriander and so on? I wonder if this would be a way to add spices to food that would somehow not be starchy, but I have no clue. Any baker-chemistry majors in the house? http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/155423/make_your_own_flavored_extracts_at.html?cat=22Thanks for any ideas or communal head-scratching! : ) Jan

Your mention of cinnamon reminds me of the really good almond-flour cookies using cinnamon extract and "egg nog" flavoring, mmmm... http://www.naturesflavors.com/default.php?cPath=157&sort=1a&&showall=1I see bell pepper, cardamom, anise, coriander, and horseradish flavorings, so I guess the answer to your question must be 'yes'! http://www.naturesflavors.com/default.php?cPath=82&sort=1a&&showall=1Even more obscure flavors under extracts, including pine (bleh!)

Can we use extracts of starchy things????!!!!?!?! That sounds incredibly exciting. What do you look for/ look out for? Why would cinnamon extract not be starchy? I do not quite understand. Stacey

@ Stacey: I'm trying to figure this out! We need a chemistry major.
@ SJ: Thanks, I didn't even look far enough into the link to see that. This may be promising.
@ Donette: lol! They'd do an intervention!

http://www.supremespice.com/Products%20Catalog.htmlI wonder if these extracts would test as being starchy? Hmmm, I can just see me calling up, asking if they had a bottle of iodine handy...! Jan

I don't think cinnamon flavor is in the starch, so the trick is separating it out properly. I did manage to find cinnamon oil at a local store that didn't test starchy. I then turned it over to the chief baker in my family, who has been making me cinnamon-flavored almond flour cookies, hooray!

Get this: the company is sending me any two extracts I want to test with Iodine. The owner, Anjali, was very sympathetic to us over hear at KickAs cooking without spices. How nice is she? SupremeSpice.com
I will let you know how it turns out.
@SJ wow, those cinnamon cookies sound fabulous!

Jan, you mention about curcumin, turmeric as spice group, and said that is starchy. Are they starchy? I thought curcumin and turmeric are not starchy, and i eat it every day as natural anti inflammatory.
