oh you tried it! nice one ;-) masala just means a mix.. if you just see the ingredients list that is the masala. Garam is optional for a bit more oomph.. but the rest of the spices are quite common to find in any normal shop. u do godda fry those spice though! else, no flavour!

Fry ground spices?
It's hard to get fresh ones here.

cumin, mustard seed, turmeric.. they are all available surely! curry leaf might be hard though yes!

I'll have to check that out, not seen them in the supermarket, but I could be looking in the wrong place!
Seen fresh herbs, not spices.

they are dried.. the spices.. sorry maybe im confusing things! only the curry leaf and ginger are fresh..

Oh ok! Now that makes sense! Yes we fresh ginger root, not sure about curry leaf. I didn't even know there was a curry leaf, I though curry was a mix of other spices!

Ahaa! Yes a curry is a mix of spices and veggies but a curry leaf .. is a Very special leaf! Its so good inwould even reccomend buying online!
