MASALA DABBA: AYURVEDIC SPICE BOX

INGREDIENTS

Cloves, Coriander Seeds, Cumin, Garam Masala, Mustard Seeds, Red Chili Powder, Turmeric, Cinnamon

DESCRIPTION

It’s easy to amass a collection of spices, most of which end up in the back of the cupboard out of sight and out of mind. An Indian masala dabba (masala means spice mix and dabba means box) is a great way to keep everyday spices front and center, easily accessible to enhance both the flavor and health benefits of your food. The spices kept in a dabba depends on personal preference and family tradition, but from an Ayurvedic perspective, these seven pack the most punch.
