Authentic Regional Spice Blends for Your Daily Kitchen
Bring home the taste of regional India with our small-batch masalas. From Mumbai street-style Pav Bhaji to soul-soothing Khichdi, we blend real spices to help you cook with heart.
The secret to irresistible street-style Pav Bhaji is a robust masala. This vibrant, rich bhaji gets its deep red colour and bold flavour from my signature spice blend, made with sun-dried chillies and roasted spices.
Here's a pro tip: I always add a dash of my Pav Bhaji Masala while boiling the vegetables. This infuses the veggies with a deep, aromatic flavour right from the start, building layers of taste.
The second and most crucial addition of Pav Bhaji Masala happens when the bhaji gravy is being prepared. This is when the real magic happens, as the blend of spices blooms in the heat, creating that authentic Mumbai taste.
To finish it right, I sprinkle a little more Pav Bhaji Masala while toasting the pav in butter. This final touch releases that classic butter-masala aroma that makes your mouth water.

About Authentic Regional & Dish-Specific Blends
We pack our regional masalas in induction-sealed jars to lock in the aroma of slow-ground, sun-dried ingredients. Because we skip the cheap fillers and artificial additives often found in mass-produced powders, these blends are quite potent. You will find that you need to use significantly less than your usual store-bought brands to achieve the same deep, authentic flavour in your everyday cooking.
When we started our journey 13 years ago, our goal was simple: to bring the comfort of home-cooked meals to your kitchen. Our regional spice blends are a reflection of that vision. Whether it is the bold, tangy kick of our Mumbai Pav Bhaji Masala or the mild, earthy comfort of our Khichdi blend, every recipe is rooted in tradition.
We source ingredients like high-oil Coriander and regional Byadgi Chillies from the origin, ensuring that the colours and aromas are natural. Our process is intentionally slow; we sun-dry the raw spices and grind them at low temperatures to prevent heat buildup, which preserves the essential oils that give our masalas their signature punch.
For those who love South Indian cuisine, our Rasam Masala captures the classic citrusy and pungent profile of a traditional kitchen, while our snack seasonings add that missing street-food magic to your homemade chaat or sandwiches. We don't believe in shortcuts, so you won't find any sawdust fillers or artificial colours here—just pure, honest spices that help you reclaim those Sunday-meal memories.
Based out of Goregaon East, Mumbai, we make every batch with love and ship these jars across India to anyone looking to add a bit of 'Goosebumps' magic to their pantry.
