You enter an old traditional kitchen, and a museum of everyday objects kept for three generations: charcoal irons, brass scales, a grandmother's sewing machine, a harmonium that crossed an ocean in a family's luggage. Then you grind. On a ross cari, the volcanic stone Mauritian kitchens used for generations, you make your own masala by hand. Everyone grinds, including children.
