As far as I know, Massala doesn't mean 'sauce', it means 'mixture, as in a mixture of spices. I'm reluctant to change it until I get some confirmation.

I actually think the reference to 'Massala powder' should be stricken, since afaik masala can refer to any mixture of spices, some of which ARE used extensively in Indian cuisine (chana masala, etc.). I'm going to check my Indian cookbooks and get back to this.

Yes the reference to masala powder should be removed. I don't know why it's there. I think for North Americans at least it could lead them to be confused with Garam Masala which is a specific mix of spices, kind of like chinese 5-spice powder. dave 05:36, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Badly worded and overgeneralization of English people?

"Indian cooks have much more specific mixtures of spices, depending on what they are cooking, while the English just make everything with the same spice mix."

Altough I am myself not that found of english cuisine, I feel that this sentence overgeneralize the English people. ;) Suggested removed or re-written. Krizzi 17:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
