Masala Box

The Masala Box is an essential tool box at the core of all Indian cooking-a round stainless steel container with several small containers that hold spices. It is to every Indian chef what a palette is to a painter. Indian food is synonymous with "hot and spicy," but a flavorful Indian meal requires a sensitive understanding of how spices work together. Inspired from travels and assimilation of all cultural influences along the way, executive chef Sumita Gohal-Verma fuses home-style cooking with modern artisanal techniques. The emphasis is always on freshness and flavor; "hotness" is optional.
