My Masala Dabba
[1/52]
Every Indian girl who learned to cook from her mother probably owns one of these. I know my sister and I have one, my mom and her sisters have them, and my grandma had one. I think what varies is what we end up storing in them.
Mine, from top, has sambaar powder (my mom's recipe that has replaced almost all other spice blends for me, including garam masala), cumin seeds (jeera), turmeric (haldi), cardamom pods (elaichi), red chili pepper (laal ka mirchi), and carom seeds (ajwain). The center is urad daal.
If you know your spice regions of Indian, you could probably tell this is geared towards South Indian cooking!
