@mikudp

Hi

You can visit website for detail recipe of all pastes. I use MDH brand masalas but if not any brand works great.

[jackie826xx]

are there a lot of indian supermarkets in florida? I live in Queens NY and there are hundreds of them, but I am moving to Palm Coast FL soon and I am very worried that there won't be any stores to buy these spices in. Are there any Patel Bros. stores there in FL? Do you have your spices shipped to you?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@jackie826xx

HI

Here is Florida big cities have Indian grocers...So i buy and stack my pantry when I make trips to Gainesville, Jacksonville or Orlando.

[maraskywalkeriii]

do you have recipes for your masalas? I'd like to know how you make your chaat and garam masalas.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@maraskywalkeriii

Hi

Garam Masala and chaat masalas are basically special blend of spices..roast spices and make powder. You can visit website for recipes. Enjoy!

[riariariadixit]

Hey Bhavna how do you stack my pantry the way you do for mince ginger, mince garlic and mince green chilli.??

Love

Ria.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@riariariadixit

Hi Ria!

did not under properly what you asking but if you want to know about my paste box, you can watch video of how to make and store ginger, garlic and green chili paste...enjoy!

[AbstractMan23]

which chilli powder do you use: kashmiri mild, normal, or extra hot?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@AbstractMan23

HI

Kashmiri...enjoy!

[ladybugsing]

I really enjoy your videos you have a real sweet personality , thank you for sharing your ideas. I'm using a lot of the spices that you show. Can you make a video on how to use the mixed blends of spices. I see pretty good size bags in the ethnic isles of the grocery stores but I do get confused on what to buy. I make my own base for beans buy mixing my own blend.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@ladybugsing

HI

Special blend of spices are basically ready to add in your recipes such as if you buy for chhole, all you do is add chhole masala and few other ingredients to spice it up more but if you like mild taste, all you can add is special masala and some fresh ingredients....will try to share more details...

Can you tell the ingredients and the proportion of the various items used to prepare the different masalas, so that we can prepare even those at home. Atleast the ones which are possible.

[gujratibhai4]

Hi Bhavna very good and much needed video with good presentation; my congratution. Bhavna I keep my Hing in original bottle and then put that bottle in a freezer bag. Is that a good way to keep it. If you know of any better way to keep hing please let me know. I like to know this because of strong hing flavor it mixes with the other spices flavor, taste, and aroma. As always ashirvad to you and your family.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@gujratibhai4

Hi

I just keep hing outside b/c of it's property, it is better to keep it just out in cool, dry area. I totally forgot to cover about hing. Now i have to do in next video probably...

[hinaasdfghj]

You forgot Hing!

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@hinaasdfghj

YOu are absolutely right...not sure why it did not come on my mind eventhought it is always with my masala spice box...oh god...getting old!

[utdhhara]

[Sam020279]

I liked that you made this video but the letters so big running trough the screen is a bit too much..

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@Sam020279

Hi

Sorry but I can't change since it took several hours to get this video done. it was not rendering properly everytime I start making, i guess I need new good software but in next video, will sure keep in mind and next video will be more informative for more pantry ideas...keep enjoying!

[sonal60in]

thanks bhavana , I bought small small steel katories (plates ) from dollar store . and in a round plastic box placed them and it helps to store extra spices like whole things

Methi , kali mirch and elachi , rai etc . I need two spices boxes to put on shelf but it helps to not to mix ground spices and whole when by chance we move the spice box . when this box is put in drawer there is so much chance of falling on floor and it takes for ever to clean the mess . do not mind , sharing only .

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@sonal60in

Hi

Thanx for sharing...I don't have any trouble with my spice box, it is much more easier infact for me to manage...enjoy!

I was wondering about your ginger/garlic box?

[MrHoldenM]

Thanks so much for the video! Today I found the one existing Indian store in Santiago (Chile), and immediately went and bought the key ingredients that came up in most Indian recipes and that so far I had to ignore because I couldn't find them anywhere. The samosas I made were a success! Again, thanks for your videos. I absolutely love your style. ;)
