Tasted this so far:

MSG - not so tasty in flavor, feels weird since its pure umami flavor, interesting and cant wait to try it

Green Cardemon - Tastes like our pastries here, we have cardemon in different buns and such, first time I tried it in pod form.

Black Cardamon - Wow this was intense, similar taste to the green but a bit smoky and sour with a refeshing cooling sensation in your mouth like mint gives but its not minty. First time trying, love it!

Bonito Flakes - first time trying, loving it! Perfect umami and saltiness with a bit of fish flavor.

One of the spices has a very pungant smell, I think its the Asafoetida. All bags smell like it.

Dried curry leaves - Very mild flavor, reminds me of bay leaf but not as intense more creamier hard to explain, with a hint of citrus and in my mind earl gray or tea of some sort. First time.

Fenugreek seeds - First time. Cool so this is the spice that gives the normal yellow curry powder mix you can buy from the stores the curry flavor, smells just like it. But the flavor was just bitter, I know you gotta prepare it to get those flavors out.

That sucks :/. Most chinese food and other asian cuisine use to a lot too. But you can add umami other ways.

Ajwain seeds - This was interesting, tastes like thyme and caraway and flowery, bit bitter with a bit of spicyness. Interesting spice.

Asafoetida - Wow, another surprise. Yes this is the super pungant smelling spice, but the flavor is sweet and sharp, with only a hint of the pungant flavor, it leaves a hint of nice bitter flavor like beer does in the after taste.

This is so fun.

Fenugreek dried leaves - Milder smell from the seeds, tastes like bitter dey hay. I guess it also needs cooking to unlock the flavors.

Fennel seeds - tastes like fennel, liquirice

Brown mustard seeds - tastes like mustard

I cant wait to experiment.

Anyway. The noodles are really tasty. Its not as bad as I thought from the vids on youtube. I could handle it with ease, the spiciness is perfect for me. The noodles have a great consistency but I like thinner a bit nooodles. I added some bonito flakes and it became tastier. Wish I ordered more of them.

Cumin whole - taste like ground cumin obviously.

Vindaloo spice mix - its allright, bit spicy but much.

My whole apparment smells of Asafoetida, so pugnant, put it in a air tight glass jar and double bagged it, hopefully the smell disipates. I mean I smelled it in my car before I opened the package.

I love black cardemon and Ajwain seeds just tasting it like that. But Asafoetida is very interesting , cumin is already a fave spice for me just never had them whole. MSG is gonna be fun to play with.

Very curious of how cooking Fenugreek seeds will change the flavor.

I have dried ginger powder for emergencies. I rather use it fresh in dishes where I need it. Tho sometimes the powder is better.

We have ginger paste at home. You have to keep it refrigerated, but that's not too bad

Soak them in water before you cook with them. I fucking love fenugreek. Sometimes I'll bang out a curry just as an excuse to use some fenugreek.

Mostly for thai stuff/other Asian stuff. Not much for indian spices, doesnt matter much since its shipping domestical and doesnt cost that much. Obviously some of the stuff I ordered I can even find in grocery stores like fennel seeds and cloves. But not some of the other stuff.

It wasnt that bad for me. But I like spicy.

Got home from work for a small break and it smells good now, a hint of the Asafoetida (or Hing as its also called). But mostly a blend of spices.

I have that same ramen, it's really tasty, but pretty hot. I use about 3/4ths of the flavor packet otherwise it's not enjoyable.

I even took the packet and consumed the rest of it from the leftover at the sides after I finshed the ramen, cuz it was so tasty.

First up is me making a garam masala blend to use in a curry dish a Chef I follow made on youtube. Then its mostly to experiment and broaden my cooking skills and get more experience in flavors.

You've inspired me. I think I'm going to buy some spices. Also, off topic but how's life in Sweden?

Its good for the most part, but obviously there are flaws. Looking at your user name you would hate it here since our laws are fucking stupid.
