Great idea! We're overrun with Lemon Balm!

How did you extract the flavour? Did you add it to the boil or make a vodka tincture or something?

In fact I'd really be up for trying this out if you'd care to share your recipe?

It looks like a Windows XP activation key!

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat does this. It begins by introducing the eponymous 4 elements at length then provides a decision tree to help you work through the recipes at the back according to the gaps in your experience.

It's not specifically focused on Indian food but does contrast flavour profiles from different countries. For British Indian Restaurant Curry I'd recommend Dan Toombs "The Curry Guy". It's not written like a textbook but I've learned loads of tricks from it (e.g. base curry sauce/ freezing fried paneer for later, yoghurt marinades etc).

You can still leverage knowledge from a foundation model in a smaller fine-tuned one.

So the model might have learned general OOP principles from Java but it then drops redundant parameters about specific conventions like AbstractFactoryBuilders when it specialises on a language like Python which has no notion of Interfaces.

Likewise real world knowledge might help distinguish between accounting and database transactions when writing a banking application but you don't necessarily need your coding assistant to have memorised all the world cup winners since 1966.

These models are unwieldy so I think it makes a lot of sense to try and find ones that are tuned efficiently.

It might just be that they dried up in the hot weather. If so they'll uncurl now it's rained.

You might also want to check for ants breeding black fly on the underside. They suck the moisture from the leaves causing them to curl over. You can usually just scrape them off with a wet finger.
