By repeatedly using similar spices, I want to encourage you to really understand the taste profiles of each spice and to further awaken your palate with aromatics that you may not have experienced before. Oh, and please don’t worry; I want Indian food to be less daunting for newcomers, so each recipe uses no more than five spices, plus ground turmeric and chilli powder, which are pretty much a given in Indian food. These compact spice combinations really deliver on flavour.
