What is in the Spice Set?

• South Indian Curry

Chilis, mustard, fenugreek, and coconut are typical South Indian ingredients in this green curry blend. It’s ideal for vegetables, seafood, lentils, and stews.

• Graham Masala

Translating to “hot spices,” this traditional Northern Indian spice blends potent aromatic herbs that add flavor and fragrance and are often used to garnish.

• B’s Biryani

Inspired by the delicious, traditional rice dish Biryani, B’s Biryani uses ingredients like cumin, cardamom, cloves, hot curry, cinnamon, allspice, and more for a flavor that many find entirely irresistible.

• Tikka Masala

Use our Tikka Masala blend to make an aromatic tomato-based sauce and succulent tandoori chicken. Traditional favorites like cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, black peppercorns, and others make this versatile blend unforgettable.

• Fenugreek Leaves

This mellow, earthy herb is a staple in Indian and Middle East cuisine. Use it in soups, stews, curries, fried pastries, and flatbreads like naan.

• Turmeric

Turmeric provides that yellow color so prominent in Indian foods like curries. It has many significant health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties.

• Chaat Masala

Chaat Masala (snack spice in Hindu) is the perfect marriage of sweet and savory, featuring dry mango powder, black salt, and others. This sweet and spicy blend is an ideal finishing seasoning; keep it handy at your table. 

• Kala Namak

Also called Black Salt is actually a pinkish gray mineral salt with the distinct sulfurous taste of hard-boiled eggs. It’s used as a condiment and added to dishes like chaat and other savory Indian foods.

Alternate Choices

You may substitute any of the above spices with one of these seven alternatives.

• Cumin

Cumin is among the most common seasonings in Indian, Middle Eastern, and many other cuisines worldwide. This ancient spice can be ground or whole seed. Roast the seeds to enhance their flavor.

• Tandoori Masala

Make a paste and rub directly on meats to give them that traditional flavor and red-orange color unique to Indian tandoori cooking.

• Kalonji seed

Also called black cumin, Kalonji seed has a powerful aroma and is a popular spice throughout India.

• Punjabi Curry

Known as the “dish of sunshine goodness,” this spice hails from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan and is best suited for hearty stews and curries.

• Ginger

Ginger is highly versatile in the kitchen and has numerous health benefits, working well with both sweet and savory dishes.

• Asafoetida

The strong onion-garlic flavor is a favorite in vegetarian Indian dishes. Add sparingly to your cooking liquid, frying oil, or steep in water.
One caveat is that this spice can often contain gluten.

• Panch Pooran

Typically roasted in a small amount of oil until the seeds pop before adding to other foods, this Bengali five-seed spice is entirely whole spices, unlike most curries.

What is so great about this set is that not only do you have to use the spices for Indian cuisines. You can substitute many of the herbs and spices into different dishes from all over the world! One of the most popular spices in this batch is the South Indian Curry. So, what exactly is the difference between North Indian and South Indian curry styles?

South Indian Curry focuses a lot on curry dishes made with rice, lentils, or in stews. North Indian Curry has more of a thicker taste – sweeter, and more potatoes, as well as naan bread on the side. Many of the herbs in this set have healing properties, such as turmeric, which works as a natural anti-inflammatory and can even prevent heart disease based on studies!
