India is home to 1.3 billion people where 16 languages are spoken and upwards of 36 distinct cuisines exist with endless combinations and variations. What binds together the culinary diversity of this nation is its spices. A part of Indian culture for 3,000 years, these spices are legendary for their medicinal properties and their delightful flavours in enhancing food. At Dhaba Casual Fine Dining

, customers new to Indian food, think its spicy hot. There are an assortment of spices and combination of, that brings forth its own aroma and character to a dish. For starters, there is no such thing as curry powder in an Indian kitchen. The jarred stuff you find on supermarket shelves is purely a Western convenience product. Though it brings forth flavor to bland recipes, all the dishes taste the same. In India, we make our own spice mixes that vary by region, with different blends used for different types of meats and vegetables. The varieties are endless. Each spice holds its own place on the kitchen shelf and combined with each other, create magic. You've probably heard the term 'masala'—it's the closest thing we have to Western curry powder: However, in authentic Indian cooking, it is made from ‘scratch’. Masala is a mixture of spices and herbs that form the base of Indian dishes and gives them their characteristic flavors. Every Indian kitchen has a 'masala dabba' or two; round stainless steel containers with an inner and outer lid with smaller round containers inside that are the heart and soul of Indian kitchens. One masala dabba will hold the whole spices and the other, the powders and personalized blends of spices. Why do we need both whole and powdered versions of the same spice, you ask? Well, every dish has many layers of spice that come together in various step-by-step techniques. Some may use whole. Some use only powders in different proportions. Some, both. After serving over 160,000 meals in Dhaba’s 5 years of operation, Co-owners and Executive chefs Faizal and Salma Junus decided to open a Sweets and Spice Shoppe to enhance home cooking for the novice and offer a variety of Indian spices to the advanced home cooking enthusiast.
