This gourmet spice blend is made of 18 organic spices, individually hand roasted and stoneground. This is a traditional blend to create a perfect Indian soul food – Chickpea potato curry or Amritsari Cholle.

Use this blend to make a delicious, simple, hearty and satisfying Chickpea curry or chickpeas for a bowl style meal. This blend can also be used for making lentil-based curries, hearty soups, stews and Moroccan style dishes. Chickpea Spices

The organic ingredients have been blended together to balance the aromatics, warm, sweet, spicy and tangy flavours required in a chickpea or lentil based dish. Chickpea spice blend is fragrant, and mildly spicy to the taste (less heat than Garam Masala) with a tang and sweet bitter taste from Dried Mango powder (Amchur).

Contains Organic Spices - Dried Mango powder (Amchur), Cumin seed, Coriander seed, Fenugreek seed, Garam Masala, Fennel seed, Turmeric powder, Red Chilli powder, Green Cardamom, Sweet Paprika, Cinnamon (cassia), Cloves, Black Pepper, Ginger, Nutmeg and Bay Leaf. The spice blend is sealed in an amber glass jar immediately after grinding to preserve the freshness.

Garam Masala

Garam Masala literally means ‘a warm spice blend’. It is a versatile and aromatic blend of roasted and ground spices used extensively in Indian and South Asian cuisine. It is often said that every family in India had their own traditional Garam Masala recipe. It is used for the earthy, sweet and savory, warming flavour and mouth feel – it is not a very hot chilli mix. Garam Masala combines several common spices in Indian cooking to give a well-rounded and complex flavour profile.

We handcraft our Garam Masala using organic whole spices and spice powders, from India and Sri Lanka, to guarantee the purity and quality of our product. The Garam Masala is formulated to a special, traditional family recipe, passed down by my grandmother. Balancing the spices is an art which ensures that all spices work together and no single flavour overpowers the spice blend.

We freshly dry roast and stoneground the spices, on receipt of your order, to bring out an intense flavour and aroma by release of the natural, essential oils in the spices. Stoneground spices have a naturally uneven, earthy texture that adds to the rustic mouth feel.

The fresh, handcrafted Garam Masala is immediately packed in a recyclable, amber coloured, glass jar, with an airtight induction seal, to maximise freshness of the product – you will get a strong whiff of the fresh spice blend when you open the jar.

Garam Masala makes a magical difference to a dish by adding sweetness, heat, complexity, tanginess and texture. Our handcrafted Garam Masala does not contain any chilli – the warmth comes from the pungent natural essential oils of the spices. It is best when added towards the end of cooking as a finishing seasoning or it can be used as a garnish when serving.

Garam Masala spice blend can be used in curries, fish, goat dishes, hearty vegetable dishes, lentils, lamb, pork, vegetables, beans, eggplants, potatoes and sweet potatoes, vegetable sauté’s, marinades, mayonnaise and salad dressings. It is also used to season the flour when baking bread, sprinkled over cut winter squash before baking, used as a dry rub for meats before grilling and added to desserts such as ice creams, pies and cookies. A pinch of Garam Masala in your coffee makes it divine!
