Spices

Indian spices are the essence of Indian cooking, celebrated for their rich flavors, vibrant colors, and therapeutic properties.

Ayurveda: Spices are central to Ayurvedic healing — balancing doshas and supporting digestion, immunity, and detoxification. Trade History: India was once known as the "Spice Garden of the World" — spices like pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon were major trade commodities. Daily Use: Indian kitchens typically use multiple spices daily for flavor, health, and preservation.

Indian spices are often blended into masalas for layered flavors: Garam Masala (warm, aromatic mix) Chaat Masala (tangy, salty) Sambar Powder (South Indian) Panch Phoron (Bengali five-spice blend) Tandoori Masala, Biryani Masala, Curry Powder, and more!
