Sourced from 40 small regenerative family farms across India and Sri Lanka, our Tandoori Masala is built for high-heat cooking and big, balanced flavor. Each batch blends 16 freshly harvested, single-origin spices for the perfect harmony of spicy, sour, sweet, earthy, and umami—then comes alive when you grill, roast, or sear.
What’s inside (flavor by design)
-
Earthy base: turmeric, cumin, coriander
-
Savory backbone: salt, garlic, ginger
-
Heat & brightness: Byadgi chillies for a dynamic kick + aroma
-
Tang: amchur (green mango)
-
Smoky depth: black cardamom, Sirārakhong Hāthei chillies
-
Gentle sweetness: jaggery
-
Rich finish: cinnamon, green cardamom, fenugreek leaves, saffron
How to use it
-
Yogurt Marinade (classic): 2 Tbsp masala + 1 cup full-fat yogurt + 1 Tbsp oil + 1 tsp lemon juice + salt to taste. Marinate 1–2 lb chicken, paneer, shrimp, or veg for 30 min–overnight.
-
Dry Rub: 1 Tbsp masala per lb protein/veg + 1–2 tsp oil + salt. Rest 15–30 min.
-
Bloom to wake flavors: sizzle 1–2 tsp in ghee/oil 30 seconds; toss with roasted potatoes, cauliflower, or chickpeas.
Cook any way you like
-
Grill: medium-high heat, lid closed, turning for charred edges and juicy centers
-
Oven: 475°F / 246°C (or broil to finish) for lacquering and caramelization
-
Stovetop: cast-iron sear, then finish low until tender
Plays well with
Chicken, paneer, tofu, halloumi, mushrooms, cauliflower, potatoes, shrimp, salmon. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a brush of ghee for restaurant-level gloss.
