Javetri (Mace) is the delicate outer covering of nutmeg and is prized for its fine aroma, warm flavour, and use in premium Indian cooking. It is commonly used in biryani, rich curries, Mughlai gravies, spice blends, and festive dishes where subtle fragrance and a slightly sweet-spicy warmth are required. Javetri is considered a premium raw masala ingredient and is often included in high-quality garam masala and biryani masala formulations.
