In one of the threads, some gps had given some great tips for making masala. I need some tips for spices because i am a beginner and can’t get a hold on this. Ok is there a set rule as to the proportion of salt vs red pepper that goes in a dish. For example. do you always put in same amount of salt as pepper or either one is more or less. It would be really helpful if someone could explain me the variations of proportions of spices and what difference it makes to the taste. thanks
Re: spices
taste as you go. there is no proportion or formula.

Barbie, I will tell you what i do , dont know it there is a set formula though.
one and a half teaspoon salt
one teaspoon chilli powder ( if you need more , just add quarter teaspoon more)
Half a teaspoon turmeric powder
3/4 teaspoon garam masala ( in certain recipes)
Thats pretty much it really .. if there are certain spices that you want to know the quantity for , let me know .
