Hi all,
Just stumbled upon this forum by chance and must say it looks really active and full of useful info

.
I have been cooking curries since I was a kid and can safely say I'm addicted

I do have one question as there seems to be so many different suggestions in books and websites etc etc about how to add spices during the cooking stage.... should you add different spices at different stages? Apparently some spices can burn before others. Just wondering what people's thoughts on this were as most advice seems to say throw in all your spices together?
My preference is to infuse asafoetida and whole spices like clove and cinnamon in the hot ghee or oil right at the beginning, then your puree, then spices like chilli and coriander for a short while, with aromatic spices like turmeric and cumin going in last, then your gravy/yoghurt etc etc.
cheers
Jay
