IN THIS CHAPTER

Caring for your knives and chopping boards

Choosing the right cookware for the job

Storing and blending spices

For many people, setting up their first kitchen involves getting essential cookware as hand-me-downs from family or friends. Then as you expand your cooking skills and possibly have a little more disposable income, your tools become more sophisticated. You may hold on to a few of those original pieces for emotional reasons — I still own (and use) a bright orange plastic colander a dear friend gave me many years ago. Or you may add a nifty gadget that helps save time or do the job better. Buying the right tools and looking after them means that they’ll last.

In this chapter, I walk you through the tools you’ll need for Indian cooking. Many of these tools you’ll likely already have; others may be new to you. Either way, if you’re looking for an excuse to shop, this chapter is for you!
