The traditional spice box (masala dabba as it is known in India) is a must have in every Indian kitchen. It is to an Indian cook what a color palette is to an artist. The round stainless steel box contains one spoon to use with the spices and seven stainless steel spice cups. The box has two lids - an inner plastic lid to keep spices fresh and an outer lid that serves as the cover.
The box comes with the following spices:
- Cumin seeds
- Turmeric
- Mustard seeds
- Whole garam masala
- Red chile powder
- Fennel seeds
- Coriander powder
