If you want to learn how to cook the best curry then there is one piece of kit that you really should have....a masala dabba. A masala dabba or 'spice box' is a traditional Indian spice tin used in most Indian households.
Dabbas are round stainless steel tins that contain about 7 smaller stainless steel dishes and a little spoon. You simply add each spice to the smaller dishes so that next time you want to cook a curry there is no need to pull out 7 individual post of bags of spices. Simply take the lid off you masala dabba and you have all the spices you need in front of you!
