- Adjust to the Dish: Play with flavors based on the dish you’re preparing.
- Experiment with Ratios: Feel free to tweak the amount of spices until it suits your palate.
- Grind Whole Spices: If you have whole spices, consider grinding them for an intense flavor kick. A small spice grinder will do the job.
