Open a Pakistani kitchen cupboard and you will find far more than a few spices: whole masalas, ground powders, dals, flours, nuts, tea and baking things. Labelling jars is the fastest way to stop hunting for the zeera while the oil is already hot. This guide lists 131 names worth labelling, grouped by type, so you can plan your jars before you start.

Why label your jars at all

Find things faster

Many spices look alike in a jar. Ground cumin, ground coriander and turmeric are easy to mix up at a glance.

Stop buying doubles

A quick look at the shelf tells you what is running low before you shop.

Anyone can cook

Labels in English and Urdu help family members and helpers find the right jar.

How to plan your jars

Step 1

Group by type first

Keep whole spices together, ground spices together and dals together. Use the groups below.

Step 2

Label the lid and the front

The lid label helps when jars are stacked or on a rack. The front label helps when you look at the shelf.

Step 3

Keep daily jars within reach

Salt, chilli powder, turmeric, cumin and garam masala belong at the front.

Step 4

Leave blanks for your own names

Every kitchen has a few extras, such as a family masala mix.
