I have been collecting masalas and stacking my kitchen shelf like an apothecary. The spice labels for me, are fascinating and they make me re-think each time when I cook. Be it mixing Zaatar or Tahini with my brown rice, I like giving my food one or the other twist each time. It is very crucial to get the best spices, broil them and store them in an airtight container. I am very particular about my spices.
And to cater to my concern for spices, there is a quaint and small shop in INA market. The shop is situated in the bylanes, where you see shades of green leaves kept on one another. I love small lanes and they have their own stories.
The Durga masala shop allows you to choose your own whole grain masala and get them grounded in a stone grinder to any ratio you like. You can add ingredients just as much as you like. I love my Garam masala with more cinnamon and coriander seeds. This shop gives you multiple options to choose from and happily grinds powder for you with a cup of masala chai while you sit and gaze the world of randomness.
