One of the most useful things in my kitchen is my Masala Dabba, an Indian Spice Box.

Most of the yogic recipes I make include cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, turmeric, curry powder, asafoetida, coriander powder and cumin powder. Sometimes a few, sometimes all. Digging them out of the cupboard doesn't help if you're trying to keep your cooking time hassle free.

Keeping your Masala Dabba well stocked - it's easy to see what you're running low on - you know that a delicious dhal, vegetable subji or curry are never far away.

Easy to find in Southall or Leicester, you can always get one online here
