FAQ

Heritage & Tradition

Many Indian spices are recorded in ancient Ayurvedic texts. Cardamom from the Western Ghats is celebrated as “green gold,” while pepper from the Malabar Coast earned the name “black gold.” Kashmiri saffron lends dishes a luxurious hue, and smoky black cardamom from Sikkim adds depth to robust gravies. Each region contributes unique varieties shaped by local climate, soil, and culture.

Typical Dishes

Turmeric colours pilaf and “golden milk” a vibrant yellow. Cumin (jeera) anchors chana masala or masoor dal, while mustard seeds crackle in a South-Indian tempering. Garam masala mixed with yogurt transforms tandoori chicken, and fragrant curry leaves lift sambar or rasam. Sweet dishes such as kheer gain warmth from cinnamon and green cardamom.

What are typical Indian spices?

Core staples include turmeric, cumin, coriander, chilli, fenugreek, mustard seeds, cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, and cloves, plus blends like garam masala. These form the flavour base of countless regional dishes across India.

Which spices are used in curry?

A well-rounded curry often combines cumin, coriander, turmeric, chilli powder, and fenugreek. Depending on region or style, cooks may add cinnamon for warmth, cardamom for sweetness, or coconut for richness.

How should Indian spices be stored?

Keep spices in airtight containers, away from light, heat, and moisture. Whole spices stay aromatic longer than powders; grind them fresh when needed to unlock their fullest flavour.
