The Indian kitchen is incomplete without the ‘masala dabba’ or the spice box that comprises a world of flavours, colours and textures. Sometimes, a single spice does the trick, at other times several spices combine to form a robust blend. Here, we explore the ‘Masala Dabba’ and its contents from a not-so-obvious point of view. What would happen, for instance, if milk masala were not added to milk but meat or chilli flakes in desserts? Believe it or not, the answer is: Spectacular food.
