I was proudly telling a Nepalese colleague once how I made my own masala from scratch, etc. She laughed her socks off, after that, every now and then she'd look across at me smirking "I still can't believe you make your own masala, white people are nuts!". She'd buy it pre-ground in small amounts every week, everybody does apparently. 🤷♂️ I do the same thing now. 😳
RonAsheton-
Yeah.. white people 🙄.. lol
I ain’t ethnic enough despite my Turkish and Sri Lankan heritage so I’m in the white people category..
I made the fatal mistake asking Mrs M’s mum for her beef curry and roti recipe.. I got a silent stare basically fcukoff..
if I need to know I’d be invited, family recipes are a closely kept secret

Thanks @marcomarcos :) those Dunn River seasoning tubs do have similar parts. I suppose it’s all down to convenience. I should take a closer look. Not that I would make my own version from scratch. I suspect many West Indian households do though. Maybe Indian households might blend spices for different curries.
