मसाला (Masala): The Spice Blend Philosophy
I
Origin
Masala — the spice blend tradition of Indian cooking — encompasses the most diverse spice vocabulary in the world. India produces approximately 70% of the world's spices and consumes 90% of what it produces. The masala tradition is not a single approach but a complete philosophy: each regional tradition, each dish category, and often each family has its own specific blend ratios. The professional understanding of masala construction is the foundation of Indian culinary expertise.
