The thing that makes the most difference for me is the coriander i love it.

I attended a one day Indian Cookery course last week, and I have to say that less is more.......

I think we over spice our food to try and find that BIR, maybe we should all cut back on what we throw into our recipes and try to blend a little better.... I'm no expert so any contributions would be appreciated....


However, salt, lemon juice and oil can make such a change to what we prepare. We made a few simple dishes, there were four of us on the course and we all made the same. Simply by using an 1/8th teaspoon of a certain spice, and any small amount over that or under that made a significant change to the base marinade as we all tried each others.......... and the results all came out differently......

976bar,

when u say 1/8 tsp are u referring to making a single portion dish (200ml finished).

this for me justifies your own post - sounds like some good learning.
