Spices get their intense flavor and aroma from volatile oils locked inside the whole spice. Grinding spices releases these oils, which means that many pre-ground spices—while convenient—have lost a lot of their magic before they reach your kitchen. The fresher the grind, the more potent the spice. This set contains 3 whole spice blends that you grind fresh yourself. Each spice is carefully selected and curated from farms that practice environmental stewardship and empower their local communities.

Chat Masala is used to season fruit and salads. The flavor is a little salty, with a bright and lighly sweet-tart element from the dried green mangos (amchoor).
Sprinkle lightly on fruits like apples, mango, and green papaya. Toss a little with green salads, or use it on the rim of a tropical drink. It’s also used to season savory dishes like potato, cauliflower, chick peas, or lentils. Think of it like salt or pepper and season to taste.
*We use ground Amchur because dried, raw mango slices are incredibly hard to grind in a household coffee or spice grinder. That's why we decided to include pre-ground of this particular spice.

Garam Masala is perfect as a finishing seasoning to almost any Indian dish. Use it liberally or lightly - it’s really your preference. If adding to a heavier meat-based dish like chicken or lamb, you might add more to give it a more robust flavor. Stir 1-2 tsps in at the end.
You can also use Garam Masala as you would salt and pepper - to garnish anything that needs a boost of flavor. Try it on rice and lentils, in soups and stews, or even in desserts!
