What are pre-mixed spice blends?

Pre-mixed spice blends are carefully crafted combinations of ground spices designed to provide authentic Indian flavors with convenience. Each blend is a balanced mix of spices traditionally used in specific dishes, eliminating the need to measure and combine multiple spices.

How long do pre-mixed spice blends stay fresh?

Our spice blends remain fresh for 12-18 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always seal the package tightly after use to maintain maximum flavour and potency.

Can I use these blends for non-Indian cuisines?

Absolutely! While designed for Indian cooking, our spice blends can enhance various cuisines. Garam Masala, for example, works wonderfully in roasted vegetables, marinades, and even some baking recipes.

Can vegetarians use these spice blends?

Yes! While some blends have suggestions for meat dishes, they're completely vegetarian-friendly. Our Biryani and Garam Masala blends work perfectly with vegetables, tofu, and plant-based proteins.

Better Butter Chicken

This Kashmiri Chilli has lifted butter chicken to an authentic experience. The colour is vibrant, the flavour lifted and the texture becomes much smoother then European Paprika.

This was delicious, because I am on a Low FODMAP

This was delicious, because I am on a Low FODMAP diet and can’t have Garlic or Onion, this spice gives me the flavour of garlic and onion without the problems of eating it.

These are True Indian Bay leaves. I have always made my own masala when making an Indian styled curry. Now they are perfect. Highly recommend.

Excellent

Very happy with the Kashmiri Chilli Powder. It's the first time I've used it and it adds that distinctive colour and flavour I've been chasing in my recipes.

Restaurant quality flavour!

Made our first curry with this last night and it was delicious. It had that restaurant quality taste - in fact better than a lot of restaurants! We based the recipe off the from scratch version given on this site as there are no exact amounts given for how to use this spice. We're impressed and will definitely purchase again when we run out. It would be useful to have instructions on amounts per kilo etc given on the packet or this site, as the recipe underneath doesn't include those details. Looking forward to making it again.
