Hello friends, you are all welcome to week 5 of the learning challenge, I am happy because one of my hobbies is cooking, and I am giving my teacher @suboohi a big thanks for exploring different types of dishes. Ma, pls don't be annoyed. May I ask the reason, why my last week's work was not reviewed?
Actually, nothing is all that new because, as I have said earlier how, my teacher is bringing different kinds of dishes from another country. So personally l love natural spices,
Meanwhile, almost all the dishes are prepared being spiced and flavoured mostly with herbs and plant products, which are spices, In various cooking techniques, spices are usually used in effective and delicious dishes.
The most common dish all over the world is chicken. It can be cooked by stir-frying, but it has to be marinated with spices before either stir-frying, roasting, grilling, frying, or cooking.

YES, one of our cousins is the chicken sauce, but just the sauce will be separate and be served with cooked white rice, here, the difference from ours is the spices.
All their flavour or spices are wonderful with good aroma, and the amazing aspect of Venezuelan cuisine is that it's either herbs or plant origin, which is natural.
But I love dried cumin powder more than all because the health benefits of cumin are numerous; cumin contains anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory.
Now I have started using cumin on my soup; regards again to @suboohi, my teacher and all the steemite.
Let me invite @wuddi, @chant and @okere-blessing.
