What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's? (lemmy.world)

Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

Yum. Not sure if it is the same stuff or comparable but my lazy-ass guac is basically mashed avocados and Lawry's Fire Roasted Chili and Garlic Powder and it is quite yummy with chips.

It's not quite the same but the basic idea is similar. The Indian version also adds lentils, cumin and coriander seeds, maybe other stuff too (like curry leaves) depending on the recipe/brand.
