π How to choose
Spices & Masalas: the buying guide
Buy ground spices in 100 to 200 g packs and finish them within three months: ground spice loses its aroma quickly. Whole spices keep a year. Look for the FSSAI number, a recent manufacturing date and packs that are not swollen or clumped. Keep the masala dabba away from the stove; steam and heat are what fade the colour. Blends save time, but a pinch of fresh garam masala at the end lifts anything.
