We have received so many emails from readers trying out our recipes and sharing their successes.  We love reading your stories and it’s a treat seeing all your great photos!  One of the themes we have noticed is that many first time Indian cooks have to go pretty far to find Indian spices.  To show our excitement for your enthusiasm, we thought, “let’s send the Indian store to them!”

If you are in search of the Essential Indian Spices, and you don’t seem to have an Indian store nearby, this is the giveaway for you! We are sending out a set of basic spices: Garam Masala and Turmeric…plus one secret masala mix that will come in handy for a video tutorial coming up in a couple weeks…

The giveaway includes:

One box of Garam Masala

…one bag of turmeric…

…and one secret spice, you’ll be needing for a recipe in a couple weeks.

TO ENTER: 

Just answer the following question in the Comments section of this post:

What is your favorite Indian dish?

    To be honest, I don’t have a favorite. I went once to an Indian buffet style restaurant and nothing really tasted that good. I would like to try making it at home to see if homemade is actually better!

      Oh my gosh! Well not all Indian restaurants are created equal ;)
      I hope you try a recipe at home. The Malai Kofta is a reader favorite…mine too…and it seems to have good success for beginners.
      I would love to know if you try it!

    Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever tried anything Indian. I would LOVE to though. I was an extremely picky eater until I had my son 6 months ago.

    Oh my that is a hard question when I love so many Indian dishes, but right now I am craving Tandoori Chicken!

    Those spices would be great to give my Indian meals an authentic touch!

    Love to make Indian bread too, like Naan.

    A Curry of a Life inspires me to be more adventurous, thank you! :)
