It is made of stainless steel, is round and you can find it in almost every Indian kitchen. This spice container aka masala dabba is a ubiquitous tradition passed on from one generation to the next and can be considered as your true companion when cooking Indian meals.

It is not only about the convenience with which you can store these spices but has the link to an age-old tradition that makes it even more special.
