I don't have any pinch bowls, but saw something I wish I had, while
watching an Indian friend of mine as she cooked in her kitchen.

In a little drawer, immediately next to her stove, she had a small
Lazy Susan type of stand which had little pinch sized bowls containing
all the spices she uses to make curry. I remember being a bit envious
of that little setup.

The top stand part appeared to be made of wood, with little holes
approximately 2 1/2 inches across for the various brass bowls to rest
in. She used a small spoon to dip into each as desired to create the
special curry alchemy which became our delight!

I loved watching her.

There was a large brass lid, which covered all the little bowls, when
not in use.
