The whole spices are seperated by compartments. The ground spices are contained in their owned sealed containers to prevent cross contamination of the aromas and to retain their rich flavours as much as possible. Most masala dabba's do not have individual lids on the spices and only have one cover sealing all the spices together. Our individualy sealed spice containers are also engraved with the spice name, to help you identify each spice easily when learning how to cook with them.

You will also find that most masala dabba's only contain 7 ground spices, our unique masala dabba spice box contains 13 whole and ground spices.
Although you can buy large quantities of spices, whole and ground spices do have a shelf life, although it is longer than some people might imagine. Spices do not go bad in the sense of becoming rancid or spoilt, but they do lose their potency and complex layers of flavour. When spices lose their power, they should be discarded and replaced with fresh ones.

Whole spices will keep the longest, because they have not been cracked or ground, exposing the volatile compounds which make up their flavour to the air. They can last up to a year in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, and will keep even better in the dark. Extremely strong spices such as whole cloves and cinnamon may last even longer. You can tell that whole spices are too old to use when they have lost their aroma.

Ground spices have a shorter shelf life than whole spices.

Packed for freshness in airtight spice bags:

Coriander powder. (Coriander Sativum) All of the parts of the Coriander Plant are used in Indian Cooking; The seeds are ground and used to thicken and flavour dishes and the fresh green leaves are used in garnishes. The seeds have a lemony citrus flavour when crushed. It is described as warm, nutty, spicy and orange flavoured.

Cumin. (Cuminum Cyminum) Cumin Seeds are strongly aromatic and the aroma varies according to whether the spice is fried or dry roasted. It stimulates the appetite and acts as a digestive. It is the second most popular spice in the world after black pepper. Cumin's distinctive flavour and strong warm aroma is due to its essential oil content. It helps to add an earthy and warming feeling to cooking, making it a staple in certain stews and soups, as well as curries and chilli.

Chilli. (Capsicum) Chillies vary in colour, shape, heat levels and pungency from variety to variety. They are a rich source of vitamin C. Whole chillies are dried and then crushed to produce ground chilli. Fresh or dried chilies are often used to make sauces hot and to add spice to other dishes. Hot sauces are found in many cuisines throughout the world and chilli is a firm favourite in many Indian dishes.

Many such mixtures may include a higher proportion of less-expensive spices and may contain dried red chilli peppers, dried garlic, ginger powder, sesame, mustard seed, turmeric, coriander, malibar leaves, star annise and fennel.

Ginger. (Zingiber Officinale) Fresh or dry ginger is aromatic, pungent and hot. It can be used in sweet and savoury dishes. It is known to help digestion and calm mental activity.

You generally achieve better results by substituting only half the ground ginger for fresh ginger.

When dried and ground, turmeric gives a beautiful yellow colour to any food cooked with it.
