2nd test is done. CA's was clear fav. it also looked the part.
the test recipe was surprisingly close given much less ingredient is used.
i am now convinced the step change of the lasan is primarily down to the use of lime juice. well done to Mikka for pointing this out a while ago.
both CA and the test did not have any black salt. i think this adds very little benefit.
the test had mustard oil whereas CA's did not. i still think mustard oil adds something extra and will adopt as std - down to a taste in the test that was not in the CA and could not be down to the other differences in ingredient.
i do think white pepper adds a further dimension and intend to add this in too.
i'm probably also sold on the fennel and intend to experiment over time with the spices.
these sort of "extra" intent on my part ie mustard oil, pepper and fennel are quite picky and not essential. it's the lime juice that makes the step change.
