Indian food is more than just a meal—it’s a celebration of culture, heritage, and flavors. Each spice has a purpose, and when combined correctly, they create magic on the plate. But during my travels across various countries and working in multiple kitchens, I often found myself craving the true essence of Indian food. As much as I enjoyed tasting global cuisines, nothing compared to the depth of flavor and warmth that Indian food provides. However, I noticed a recurring issue that became increasingly frustrating—there was a lack of consistency in the quality of spices available in the market, both locally and abroad.
