That sounds like a balanced approach to seasoning your food! Using herbs like curry leaves and thyme is a great way to add flavor without relying on heat. Both curry leaves and thyme have unique flavors that can enhance a variety of dishes. Curry leaves have a slightly citrusy, aromatic quality, while thyme offers a more earthy and minty note. These herbs can be used fresh or dried, depending on your preference and availability. You might also enjoy experimenting with other mild herbs and spices, such as basil, parsley, or cilantro, which can add depth and complexity to your meals without overwhelming spice. Enjoy your cooking adventures!
