This is what she had to say: “Absolutely simple, cooked in a jiffy. One difference in technique you will notice, is that normally one adds spices and powders to hot oil as a tadka. Here you are pouring hot oil on top of raw spices. Still having to get a hang of the science behind this. Any ideas why?”
