differences in testing. differnce in cookign methods.
peopel makign things up as they go along.

quite frankly when im cooking i only ever take masurements as a guideline.
if you loiek spinach add more. if you dont add less. surely the fun of
cookign is experimenting anyway.

although those ratios might explain why the sag aloo i cooked a long time
ago was very spinachy.

i had a point somewhere honest.
