Advice

I'm an avid fan of Indian cooking and have tried many different recipes over the years. My family is all vegetarian and we often prepare Indian inspired cuisine.

However, I'm still struggling somewhat with flavors in my dishes. I've read and watched countless articles and descriptive videos on YouTube, but I still can't get the richness I'm looking for. Whilst some of it can be because of the more tasteless produce here in Sweden, it can't be just because of that.

For example, when frying spices at the beginning of the cook, I'm still having a bit of a problem with the "crackling" of the whole spices. Often they are either not cooked enough or on the burnt side.

Most of the spices and ingredients can be found here(even though it can be hard for some things), I still haven't used ghee when cooking and I have started thinking maybe that's the problem? Does ghee add much more richness than butter for example?

I'm hoping someone can help me elevate my cooking further!

If you don't mind my asking, what are the dishes you tried?

Thanks for your reply!

It's hard to make a list, too many, but mainly vegetarian gravy based dishes. Lately I've been trying recipes from simpleindianrecipes.com. The last things I made were channa masala and the daal fry from his website.

I'll continue to experiment with the spices, and thanks for the new link!

Best regards
