I don’t claim to be an expert on cooking Indian food, but I really, really LIKE Indian food. That means that sometimes I try my hand at various Indian dishes. I heard that if I browned the spices before I put them into the sauce, the flavors would be much more developed. WOW! It really works. I tried browning the spices on a dry skillet and also in a skillet with a small bit of olive oil. Either way made a huge difference in flavor. In fact, the spices were so much MORE developed that I didn’t end up salting the food at all.
