## You already own them

The most nutritious ingredients in an Indian kitchen aren't imported powders — they're in your masala dabba and at your local sabzi mandi.

## Worth knowing

- **Turmeric:** pair with black pepper and a little fat for better absorption
- **Amla:** one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C
- **Millets:** ragi, jowar and bajra bring fibre, calcium and iron
- **Makhana:** light, crunchy and a better snack than fried namkeen

## Use them daily, not heroically

A pinch of haldi in dal, a ragi roti twice a week, amla in chutney. Consistency matters far more than quantity.
