The amount of garlic is really dependent of ones palette. The nutmeg and cloves brings an amazing dimension of taste and hence you wouldn\u2019t wanna miss them. The whole nutmeg is way flavorful compared to ground nutmeg and the whole cloves also are way better than ground cloves. You should however remember to remove the whole cloves at some point coz you wouldn\u2019t want someone biting into them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incase one doesn\u2019t have the whole nutmeg or cloves, feel free to use the ground options. It\u2019s better than missing them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
