### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A delightful read for spice lovers
*by S***A on 6 July 2025*

Masala Mandi is a delightful and enriching read that celebrates the essence of Indian cooking through its spices. Sadaf Hussain beautifully combines culinary wisdom with personal reflections, making the book feel both informative and deeply personal. The writing is warm, inviting, and filled with nostalgia, drawing you into the stories behind each blend. The section on biryani, for instance, reads like poetry. It captures not just the recipe but the emotion, culture, and family traditions tied to the dish. Every page is layered with history, regional insights, and a deep respect for the roots of Indian cuisine. This book is not just a collection of spice blends. It’s a celebration of identity, memories, and the soulful art of cooking. Whether you’re a passionate cook or someone who loves stories wrapped in the aroma of masalas, Masala Mandi is a book you’ll keep returning to. However, I do wish to mention that the packaging from Amazon was once again quite disappointing. The book arrived without any bubble wrap, simply placed in a brown paper bag. For a book so special, this careless handling is frustrating and takes away from the joy of receiving it. The content, thankfully, makes up for it but the delivery experience certainly needs improvement. ONE LESS STAR FOR THAT!!
