However, I can't impart Prem's genius with you without first sharing the basics ... have to work you up before we get to the other fun stuff.
An Introduction to Prem's Spice Tin:
Starting from the top and going clockwise:Mirch Masala (red) - Ground Chilly
Garam Masala (grey) - "Hot" spice mixture
Haldi (yellow) - Turmeric
Jeera (seeds) - Cumin
Dhania (brown) - Coriander
Bari Ilaayachee- Cardamom (whole seeds, large)
Pay not attention to the middle container, I was told explicitly - zururi nehin - that it wasn't that big of a deal .... (what is it? I still wonder)
I should mention, this is just his "everyday" spice container. He has all types of other recipe specific spices around the kitchen; the ones in this container though get used almost every day.
With that short, but spicy, introduction here is Prem's second lesson:
