Raita Masala: 

RAITA, a yogurt (curd) based condiment made with either raw or cooked vegetables or even boondi (made with fried droplets of chickpea flour or besan), seasonal fruits are also popularly used. It is found in almost every household, be it in North India, South India, Eastern India or Western India. In our house hold, it is served every day in lunch and sometimes even dinner, ever since I can remember. I have and still love eating different types of raitas, be it boondi, cucumber, bottle gourd, mix vegetable, pineapple and even plain curd, which is topped with this homemade raita masala.You can also just add it to plain curd or Yoghurt and add a delicious & healthy dip or sauce to be eaten with Chips, Nachos and even Tandoori or Grilled snacks like Chicken Tikka or Seekh Kebab.

Mint, black salt, black pepper, red chilli powder, fenugreek leaves, curry leaves, cumin and asafoetida.

Butter Chicken Masala: 

Butter Chicken Masala is a flavourful blend of handpicked, dry-roasted spices, ground to perfection
Butter chicken is one of the most popular and ordered dishes in restaurants. The aromatic golden brown and sometimes charred pieces of chicken pair so well with incredibly creamy gravy. Butter chicken is one of those dishes which is very difficult to get it right at home. The subtle notes of nutmeg, mace and pepper, the aroma of green cardamom and cinnamon, and the smokiness of Kashmiri chillies, can make a lot of difference in your butter chicken. Well, you don’t have to beat your head anymore to get the right spices to make this uber delicious dish at home since we have developed a perfect blend of spices for you.

Bharwa Masala:

Turn your ‘oh so boring vegetables’ into a surprisingly delicious spread by stuffing this Bharwa Masala before frying. Karele, baingan, bhindi, tori, tinde… these are the vegetables that comes to my mind when I think of bharwa sabzi and most of us I am sure do not like to eat these vegetables otherwise. But when a generous stuffing of bharwa masala is put inside these vegetables and then cooked, these oh so boring vegetables turn out to be surprisingly delicious. Handpicked whole spices which are roasted and ground at home to the perfect consistency (read not completely powdered) to extract the best flavours and textures out of them.

Relish the delightful aroma of traditional bharwa masala
