Indian Spices Questions & Answers

What are the 7 spices found in an Indian spice box (masala dani)?

The masala dani (or masala dabba) usually contains 7 basic spices of Indian cooking: turmeric, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, ground coriander, garam masala, red chili powder, and fenugreek. They form the aromatic foundation of many traditional recipes, making it easy to recreate authentic Indian flavors at home.

What is the shelf life of Indian spices?

Dry Indian spices generally keep for 12 to 36 months after production, depending on the spice and storage conditions. The date shown on the package is a Best Before End (BBE): beyond this, the spices are still edible but may lose some aromatic intensity. To preserve their flavors, it is recommended to store them in an airtight container, away from light, moisture, and heat.

How to properly use and measure Indian spices in cooking?

Indian spices can be used whole or ground, at the start or end of cooking, depending on the desired effect. Gradual dosing is recommended: start with small amounts and adjust to taste. Lightly roasting whole spices in oil or dry before adding them to dishes helps fully release their aromas.

Pankaj Sharma’s Recommendation

"The masala dani is much more than a spice box: it is the heart of Indian cooking. Its composition is often passed down from mother to daughter, along with the skills and recipes that come with it, thus perpetuating family traditions and flavors."
