Indian dishes are rich in flavour, texture, and aroma, and most of this can be accredited to the assortment of spices used. Although most spices can be found in local supermarkets, some might only be available at South Asian grocery stores. if you are unable to find a certain spice or ingredient, simply omit it. it might change the taste slightly, but the essence of the dish will remain intact. Adjust the recipes to suit your tastes and make them your own... Happy cooking!
