Ground Spices

[threedot]

I'm trying to get hold of some garam masala, ground cumin and ground coriander. I've tried the supermarkets and rim ping @ kad farang but can't seem to find any.

Does anyone know where I might find these?

Thanks...

Heh, some dude from India recently gave me sample spice-packs of the basic ingredients: green cardamom seeds, clove, cinnamon bark and black pepper. Kind of a 'do it yourself' graram massala. Other things that you might add to the mixture I think can be found in Thailand easily.

Want some? It's not a huge quantity but I'm not going to finish it in this life-time or the next.

Would love to learn how to use it in Indian cooking. I already learned the hard way that you don't need to use too much of the cloves and cardamom.....

Both Makro's have practically everything try there stands are next to the fruit and veg dept in both stores and much cheaper the supermarkets

Yeah, they have a lot but mostly stuff used in Thai/Chinese cooking. And in really big packages usually.

There used to be an indian spice shop in Warorot Market - open downstairs central area (where the fried pork, veg and dried goods are). On the east side of the area at the opposite end of row to Buddhist/temple supplies. Not sure if its still there as haven't shopped there in ages.

Try Makro

I bought Back a lot of Indian spices last November (Including 400 gms of Garam masala powder)from the Uk only to find Makro Had revamped its spice to include every thimng i bought back from the UK the section is quite largee covering two walls there is a vast amount of Indian spices as well as the traditional Thai ones

just out of interest reading off the back of the packaging i still have regaurding the Garam Masala ingredients it saysCorrianda, Cumin, pimento (Dont realy remember seeing that but i was never looking for that spice any way) Nutmeg, Pepper, Cardamon, Clove, Fennel and Bayleave.

I have 400gms so if your search for some reason bears no fruit PM me i can spare at least 100gms

Wararot is where it's at. More spices than you can imagine. Get out of the styx and come into the city where real people are.
