Do I need to add anything else when I am using Kaurina’s Original Tarka Masala™?

No, there is no need to add anything extra to Kaurina’s Original Tarka Masala, however, based on ones particular taste you can add more salt or red pepper to your meal while cooking.  As well, you can add your own spices to your taste to give it any flavor you like.

 It is important to remember, Kaurina’s has done the work for you.  There’s no need to chop onions, peel and chop ginger and garlic.  Other pastes and marinades still require you to chop your own onions and or tomatoes; not Kaurina’s Original Tarka Masala™.  We have cut your cooking time in half!
 

If I use this for most of my meals won’t they all taste the same?

 All of South Asian cuisine for the most part uses the same basic ingredients.  The different and distinct flavors come from the food being cooked.  Mutter Paneer(peas and cheese) will taste different from Aloo Gobi(potatoes and cauliflower) because of the different vegetables used.  The same goes for meat.  Chicken has a different flavor then Beef, Goat, or Lamb.  The basic ingredients however are still the same.
