Queen's former chef reveals we've all been cooking bacon wrong this entire time

The chef also claimed we've been making similar mistakes when cooking curry as well.
Apparently, we should be heating the spices in oil before cooking to intensify the flavours.
"To ‘temper’ your spices means to heat them up in oil to bring out their
