Importance of seasoning in cooking
Seasoning is an important part of cooking especially in Indian cooking. Seasoning means to effectively bring out the natural flavour of the food and make the dish perfectly without changing the flavour of the food items. Salt, pepper, acids etc are the most common items for seasoning the food. They are generally added midway or near the end of the cooking period.In Indian cooking a good number of spices are also added to the dish and they give enhanced flavour to the dish prepared. But we have to take care in selecting the spices as per the food items and Indian people know that well and continuously learn that art from their elders. A disproportionate amount of spices or seasoning items can spoil a dish losing its original flavour and charm.
A person who knows the correct amount of spices to be added in a particular dish and also proper use of seasoning items can prepare a good dish and prove his or her culinary skills.
