What's a simple cooking sauce that you like and how do you make it?

By "cooking sauce" I mean something like tikka masala not BBQ sauce. I'm trying yet again to get myself to make sauces instead of buying them.

Thanks for the info.

your spices and oils and sauces, and if they smell like they match

I never thought of that. Haha.

smelling

This is the #1 way to cook imo. Sometimes I pull things out of the spice cabinet and people look at me like im crazy. But then it tastes delicious! Just dont overdo it, i try to stay under 5 spices max for a given dish.

Also just understanding substitutions is good, like fish sauce and worchestershire is close enough in a lot of situations. Or rosmary and timian.

Also, make sure you have an acid in your food! I love lime juice or vinnegar for this. Needs to not be too much, but a little is important. Also thats just my taste lol.
