Common spices in Malay cooking

My glossary of spices =) Or at least the ones that I usually use. These are the commonly used spices in Malay cooking and recipes.

Halba @ Fenugreek seed. I used this in my assam fish. Some people use this in Nasi Lemak and Nasi Dagang.

Cengkih @ clove. Nice smell. Used in my masak merah and masak kicap recipe.

Buah pelaga @ green cardamon. Can give you diarrhea if consumed, or so said some people. I've never tested that theory though.

Bunga lawang @ star anise. I used this in my Ayam masak merah

Kayu manis @ cinnamon. Also has a nice smell. Ikea sold candles of apple and cinnamon, if anyone is interested.

Buah keras @ candlenut. Used as a natural "thickener" for gravy.
