My Little Spice Box — The Secret Chamber of Taste and Wellness
The story of seven spices
“I am turmeric who rose out of the ocean of milk when the devas and asuras churned for the treasures of the universe. I am turmeric who came after the nectar and before the poison and thus lie in between.” — Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, The Mistress of Spices.
Cooking is all about creating your own magic in the kitchen. The Chef transforms ,bland and simple ingredients into melting in the mouth delicacies. The secret behind this magic is a deep understanding of the alchemy of spices and ingredients. Every chef has his own treasured spice box . Some of them even have inherited magical spice boxes from their family kitchen , like , Hassan, the protagonist of the bestseller (and also the movie ) ,The Hundred Foot Journey .
Likewise , I also have a simple spice box in my kitchen(masala dabba ), with some basic and essential spices for my daily cooking. This is a small rounded steel box with seven small containers to hold small quantities of individual spices.
