Trivia

[Hardcore] Often said 'authentic Indian cooking doesn't use curry powder', but it's normally sold in Indian supers. While Garam Masala is 'flavoring added at the end (lacks turmeric)', curry powder 'contains turmeric and forms the dish foundation (must be cooked through)'—a clear difference.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Usage] When making Indian-style fried rice (Pulao) or flavoring potato salad, sprinkle loosely, instantly dyeing the dish 'spicy yellow'!
