A Masala Dabba is a traditional Indian spice box set made up of one large outer tin with two lids and 7 inner spice pots filled with commonly used spices. Most Indian homes have at least 1 Masala Dabba, used to store the most commonly used spices such as green cardamom pods, garam masala, fenugreek, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, turmeric, whole cloves, peppercorns, asafoetida, bay leaves, and ground chiles to name a few.

Thanks! I've seen this type of of item at an Indian grocery store. I've always wanted to know how it's used. At first, I thought it was a big bento box.
