Sugar
Top chef tip: when you are having trouble balancing salt/acidity while cooking – add some sugar/sweet before adding more salt/acidity. Usually, people don’t think to add a little sugar/sweet while seasoning their dish as it’s savory.
Bengali cuisine does this ALL the time! In our savory fish stews, chicken curries, egg kosha, etc., you always add a tiny pinch of sugar, so all the flavor elements are balanced. It’s a fab technique!
