It brings out more flavor and crispiness that you can't get any other way!
And finally, finally, I used whole dried spices, dry roasted them to
bring out more flavor, and ground them in a mortar and pestle like the Chili Queens of yore.
I made a few adjustments to the recipe, I doubled the spices in it to
bring out more flavor and cut down on the green chilies since it's not a flavor that we are too fond of, but it all came out really great!
It helps to season the berries and
brings out more flavor.
