Stages and timing

During my childhood, my father and I spent endless hours honing the long list of spices used to make good Indian food. Almost all of the recipes in this book, have key spices and warming spices added at different stages.

The garlic, ginger and chillies go in at different times to many other Indian recipes that you will see. The key spices are often split into two sections in my recipes, as they need to be added at different times.
