I didn't even know there are certain ways of adding the masalas...
My cousin just recently got married and came over from Pakistan. Her mom is an excellent cook like she is famous in the family for her skills and my cousin has learnt from her. The first thing she complains about is how the masalas are so tasteless here....I had no clue whatsoever! She is been here a few months and she already knows what masalas are the better tasting ones. I yet have to dump all the masalas I have and switch!
