Although,staying in Dublin,I buy my spices from the home of spices-India.It is so,because you get all the variety of spices and more importantly I do not believe in compromising with the purity of spices.Rather I take spices in whole and get them grinded in front my eyes at a flour mill.I do keep some spices in whole because there are some recipies which demand spices in whole,especially red chilly.I would recommend my viewers to do the same,because it makes a hell lot of difference in the taste of a particular dish.Earlier,the grinding of spices was done in an Orthodox fashion on a stone grinder,and it gave a completely different flavour to the dish.But considering the time constraint in current times,I recommend getting the spices grinded/ground(I will check the appropriate word) at a flour mill.So,do keep this in mind while trying the recipies here.Wishing you all an enjoyable and delicious cooking.
