For the last few months I have been doing self cooking following youtube videos and happy that many youtube videos are making cooking look much easier and simple . However there are many micro details which are missing in them . Some may look even silly for a novice like me and so I will post the questions here and would like other cooking experts here to share their opinions .
I have first started to cook North Indian Veg dishes especially their dals and gravies and so the questions will be on it mostly before I start talking about south indian dishes .
Question - 1
In all gravies we add GARAM MASALA for taste . Now my question is when must garama masala be added
i) Along with the regular masalas ( like coriander , turmeric etc )
ii) When the dish is fully cooked and just add it to top
iii) somewhere in between
Hoping for answers ( this question is specific to making dishes like Dal Fry , Rajma , Chole and other North Indian Veg side dishes )
I am asking this question because there is no consensus on when Garam Masala must be added and each person is giving a different version .
