No more Top Ramen and Sandwich days. Cooking yourself is not really tough. All you need is a few basic ingredients, without which Indian cooking is almost impossible, and we have the rest for you.
- Make sure to have the following in the kitchen:
- Red chilli powder
- Turmeric powder
- Coriander powder
- Garam masala powder
- Whole garam masala (peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, cumin seeds, cardamom)
- Dried mango powder
- Pav bhaji masala
- Sambhar powder
These ready-made powders are very convenient. Just add a teaspoon of sambhar powder to your dal and see the difference in taste it brings about.
