Indian Grocery - Spices & Masala Dabba

[ciaogina]

I'm itching to find a traditional Indian spice box set made up of two lids, as set of inner tins and one or more spice spoons. The set is found in most Indian homes and is used to store the most commonly used spices.

I could buy it at the above link but think it would be much more fun to go to an Indian grocery. Any suggestions?

Ditto, Milan on the corner of 9th and University. AND you can pick up a video while you shop.

India Cash & Carry is where I bought mine. At that time, they only had one with a steel lid, not with a transparent lid. Surprisingly, World Market also carries this item (with a transparent lid, and of smaller size than Cash & Carry, I think):

They have several locations in the Bay area.
