From India, by way of Java, Cambodians have been taught the art of blending spice paste using cardamom, star anis, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg , ginger and turmeric. Other native ingredients such as lemongrass, galangal, garlic, shallots, cilantro, rhizome and kaffir lime leaves are added to these spices to make a most unique and complex spice blend called "kroeung" which is a very important and aromatic paste commonly used in Cambodian Cooking[4]. This herbal paste is the base flavor of countless Khmer dishes[5], often dubbed as the Kroeung Dishes because any dish prepared using Kroeung will have the word Kroeung attached. Using Kroeung (គ្រឿង) is a must when it comes to preparing Kroeung Dishes. Some examples include Tirk Kroeung vegetable platter with Kroeung dipping paste.
