[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I ask the Indian posters a related question about spices? How can I get the freshest spices for Indian food? There are lots of Indian grocery stores around me, but how do I know which ones have the best, freshest spices or which specific brands are best? Spices are the key to Indian cooking and I want to get the right.[/quote] If you want the freshest, it is always best to get whole spices and roast/grind them yourself. Which is a PITA, so the next best thing is to store your spices in an airtight container after you get them, to preserve their flavor. I get mine at the Indian store (just pick a large one with high turnover), but then portion out what I will be using in the next few weeks into small containers, and store the rest in ziploc freezer bags. FWIW, I much prefer the Roshni brand over the much larger Laxmi/Deep.[/quote]
