Spice life

DDW March 2014 - Piquant

I enjoyed todays challenge, partly because I like cooking, so I have a reasonable collection of spices!

We have here Tamarind root (for grating, largely for Sri Lankan curries), from the front, masala mix, cayenne pepper, fennel seeds, asfoetida, cardamon pods, tumeric in the middle, masala mix and ground coriander - behind which is black pepper. All topped off with a home grown basil leaf.
