Tomato is umami-rich and is used in many dishes as a base ingredient. Using a high-quality, Italian tomato paste, puree or chopped tomato ensures you get that ripe full flavor in your dishes anytime of the year. Garlic and ginger, minced or in a paste form, add a layer of spice and freshness. They also blend in more evenly and don't burn as easily as fresh garlic and ginger. Coconut milk allows you to transform many dishes into a creamier curry. Lemon juice, dried mint and garam masala are excellent finishing ingredients, especially when you opt for more simple dishes but want a fresh and complex final flavor.
