Whether you're setting up your first kitchen or restocking, these are the essential spice blends no Indian home should be without.
The everyday five
Turmeric, red chilli, coriander, cumin and garam masala form the backbone of almost every Indian dish. Master these and you can cook 90% of home recipes.
The blend heroes
Kitchen King, chaat masala and biryani masala are ready-made shortcuts to restaurant flavour. Keep them handy for quick, impressive meals.
Regional favourites
Pav bhaji masala, kitchen king masala and tea masala let you explore India's incredible regional diversity from your own kitchen.
Building your spice box
Start with the everyday five, add one blend at a time, and always buy fresh in sensible quantities so nothing sits unused for a year.
