hi, I will be moving to Singapore in July. I will surely miss south Indian cuisine, especially those traditional dishes. I find your blog as a great help for a bachelor like me in a foreign country. but I'm not familiar with those spices in kitchen. could you please add the photos of the spices you mention here. thanks in advance.
