Add lemon juice only after switching off the stove to retain the fresh tang & vitamin C. Also adding lemon juice in hot gravies makes it bitter.

Crush garlic, don’t mince!
Crushed garlic releases more aroma & blends beautifully in curries.

Always add curry leaves to hot oil, not directly to food — that’s when they release full flavor. 🌿 #SouthIndianCooking #Cookingtips #HomeCooking

[Hema Shakthi @Mamis_Samayal]

Tempering matters! Always add mustard seeds first, then urad dal, curry leaves, and finally spices for perfect South Indian flavor. 🌿
