This is just silly.

For $2, you can buy small amounts of specific spices to put in the recipe on the back.

Oooh, don't forget coriander. Essential for Indian, and surprisingly handy in Chinese and Mexican, too.

But yeah. Beaucoup de lazy. I get big frickin' bags of spices from Indian stores etc., and they're cheaper (not just per gram, but in total) than even those little glass jars of spices in the regular grocery stores. I may never go through that half-pound bag of cumin, but it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than that jar that held one-tenth as much.

Ah. I don't really do much Asian cooking at all. I can't get the hang of making it taste like normal Asian food does. I don't know why. It all just tastes fakey and strange.And I'm not a big Indian food fan so I haven't really cooked Indian at all. I've made some Thai curries but Indian curry is really not something I enjoy eating.

Really? I've never had any trouble making Chinese food, and it tastes as good if not better than some I've had.

I have good quality sauces and pastes, though, or maybe we just don't have good Chinese restaurants in Georgia... I don't know.
