[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird how many of you dislike cumin and other spices common to Indian cooking - I think they’re the most wonderful, and they’re also very healthful. It makes me sad how late in life I ‘discovered’ Indian food and cooking.[/quote]

My Indian cooking skills are limited to loving Indian dishes out there that someone who knows how to put together does in perfect manner.

I can follow a recipe and make things happen but I am never sure what I should be getting there.

I always end up going to the spice store, buy a jar of each spice that recipe calls for..
I end up having seven .. ten jars of spices and maybe also one or two mixes like some Rogan Josh or another ..
and then after I spend few hours mixing and stewing and spicing and yougurthing and adding more spices..
I still have NO idea where I ended..

We eat, we like it but I don't know how Indian it ended up or was it just an accidental point. I don't have this state of taste that I would know where I am needing to get with this.

Few months later I still have those all spices that are not good for anything but Indian dishes so I hope that in few months I will feel like making another dish..  in the meantime those little jars look at me with sadness, I truly need to get my act together and take some
Indian cooking class  to learn where the flavor needs to be.[/quote]

Once you make the investment in stocking the staples like cumin, coriander, cardamom, turmeric, and a spicy pepper, most "special" mixes are just blends of the spices you already have. Check ingredients before buying a new jar.

An Instant Pot can make some pretty good curries in the fraction of the time it takes to stew things "authentically" for hours on the stove. I would say that a pressure cooker is essential for Indian cuisine.

You don't have to cook Indian dishes to use "Indian" spices. Omelettes, scrambled eggs, pastas, dips, and a lot of other everyday dishes taste even better with spice blends. [/quote]
