Indian - or for that matter - any exciting stuff.
Take Cauli & Potato - 12 spices in the 'body' & 6 in the Garam Marsala on top.
If one were to be omitted, would you notice??
And then people drown all that with some grotty chutney/pickle. Another 10 spices?

My chutney's not grotty!
Nor's mine Greyhound!
Tim, they tell me it's the blend, i.e. the end product, but I do take your point. And we're never likely to be able to compare side by side, the 'authentic' and the one with something left out. ;D

Girls, girls - I'd eat your chutney any day!!
Indeed, Geoff - I try to believe it! Comparison? Yes, difficult if you only have it once a month - if that!
