Gandaki, you cannot compare Salt and Pepper with spices like Cumin, Turmeric, and the ones we or Indians use in our foods for their domination on the taste. Yes, we can tell the difference, at least I can, between Chicken and Mutton, but the taste gets layred by the spices. So it's almost like we get the difference by the texture than the taste, really. And why is it sad that I don't enjoy Nepali food? If you are then don't be or else it will be a useless emotion. Save yourself some energy for other emoitions.
