I was hoping for a savory flavor, I got a weird spicy flavor. I never had Indian food but I want to try it. Nevertheless, it is a good taste. For a split second I was mildly infuriated tho.
Masala just means mix, there are hundreds of Indian spice mixes, so this name tells you nothing. For spicy you generally want garam masala, i.e. hot mix.
This story is secondhand.
My brother's first wife was Indian. As a result, he experienced many cuisines he wouldn't have locally in the US. Apparently, she once took him to an Indian restaurant which offered a variety of spiciness levels; he, having been exposed to Indian cooking in the past, thought he could handle it. As such, he ordered the spiciest level of whatever he was eating.
The owner of the restaurant apparently came out and tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted. They prepared the food as requested and he ate it. At the end of the meal, his eyes and nose were running. Per his telling, the owner came out after he had finished it to ask how he had liked the meal. He said that he liked it but that it had topped out his spice tolerance.
According to him, the owner then responded "I thought so. That's why I only gave you medium spice."
I read that title in the voice of Cristopher Walken.
This is about related to Indian food as chocolate is to an old shoe.
It literally has a red peppers on the box.
Masala is fundamentally a blend of spices--though it doesn't necessarily have to be "spicy" as in hot.
Masala Mashallah
Garam Masala literally means "hot spices."
Never had Indian food 🤯
Well... "Masala" just means something like "spice mix". There is no one Masala. So... Which Masala is it, Pringles? Which one out of the hundreds did you decide to use to represent all the Masalas!?
You know what, that's fair and I'll upvote you. I know you're not trying to bash the flavor or anything, you just married your expectation and it simply wasn't what you expected, I've been there.
Bro if you are just trying masala for the first time you are in for a real treat
Get you some paneer tikka masala. Trust me. Heavy cream/yoghurt stirred in will help with the heat.
From the few times I've had properly made Indian food, I'd generally not call things spicy, but certainly lively. The flavors don't tend to be subtle at all. Lady I worked with made her own curries and just a tiny bit was enough to flavor a whole bowl of rice.
I found out the same thing about butter chicken. Sounds great, don't it? Chicken cooked in butter! Yummy!
I honestly had no idea it was so spicy!
🤤
I need to find some of those. Looks tasty
Ew. Plain salt or Hot & Spicy. Pringles is weird with taste.
Really off topic to the post. Masal Pringles sounds utterly disgusting, then again anything pringles is utterly disgusting.
Of all the potato chips out Pringles are the worst.
