1. Finish with acidity
Add a squeeze of lemon or a small splash of vinegar at the end to brighten the flavours and balance the dish.
2. Use herbs at the end
Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or mint add freshness and lift the overall flavour.
3. Season properly
Taste and adjust salt gradually to bring out the full flavour of the dish.
4. Add a little fat
A drizzle of olive oil or a spoon of yogurt helps round out the flavours and adds richness.
5. Create contrast
Combine warm with fresh, soft with crisp, or rich with light elements to make the meal feel more complete.
