When you have made preserves of spices, you can store them in glass jars or in containers where they will not lose their aroma and flavor. If the flavor is released, it will not taste good when it is mixed with all the other ingredients.
The word ‘Bhuna’ is a term which is known to Indian cooking. This refers to cooking different spices in oil in order to release the flavor of the natural oils and also the flavor of the spices. In simple terms, this could mean just fry in oil.
