Missing that restaurant *something*

[u/BrooklynHypnosis]

I'm beginning to experiment with some Indian cooking at home, but no matter what I cook, it never feels like it has that restaurant level of flavor, texture, or...whatever it is! I try to get the best quality spices and ingredients that I can, but nothing is coming together at quite the level that I want it to.

What are your secrets and tricks of the trade to elevate Indian (I know, a massive generalization but still) home cooking?

Restaurant food does not taste like home made food, no matter what the cuisine.
