How can I customise a common base dish once it is made, so each person can season their own portion?
Keep the base broadly balanced and offer a few compatible finishing options. Add strong seasonings gradually and consider each person's dietary needs, not only their taste preferences.
Why it happens
A shared base can be adapted at serving because chilli, acidity, herbs and other finishing elements can be varied independently. However, some flavours need cooking time to integrate and cannot be added at the very end with the same result.
How it works
Separate finishing choices provide individual control over flavour intensity. The base remains consistent while each serving receives a different final profile.
