The Masala Dabba that you see here should be more than 40 yrs old. My MIL has been using it since, I don't know when. And, I just love to treasure such things.
What goes into a Masala Dabba would depend on which part of India one comes , I have the usual ingredients needed for tempering any South Indian dish. Mustard seeds, Cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, Urad Dal, Chana Dal & Red chilli powder. All the other additional spices are there in the rack.
