• Lalbaug Spice Market - Criss-crossing narrow lanes, tiny shops spilling with colourful wares, people haggling for a better deal…welcome to the bazaars of India. You can find them everywhere, and even juxtaposed against high rises and glitzy malls, these bazaars fiercely hold their own. The bursting metropolis of Mumbai has many such gems hidden in its folds.

Care to try the fiery tears-in-the-eyes signature Maharashtrian masala mixes? Head straight to the Lalbagh spice market. Guntur, Bedki, Reshampatti or Kashmiri; no we are not planning a travel itinerary. These are the names of the variety of chillies one would find in the lalbaug spice market. An expert eye could tell one from the other. Each has a specific purpose… some provide the fiery red colour without the heat, and some could be scalding hot. This market is also home to spice mixes so authentic, which the pickiest grandma would approve. You just need to let your nose lead you- the aromas will guide you to the spices long before you see them. Here, you can not only buy the spices, but can also get them dry roasted and ground into the masala mix of your choice… before your own eyes. It’s not uncommon to see ladies patiently waiting, with bagful of spices, for their turn.
