Our Table Spices
Garam Masala: The Crown Jewel
This isn't just any spice blend – it's the heart and soul of Indian cuisine. Our secret recipe combines cumin seed, black cardamom, black peppercorn, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves. "Masala" refers to the spice blend, while "Garam" means spice intensity for generating heat, creating a warmth that'll hug your palate.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa): The Golden Healer
Why settle for ordinary when you can indulge in extraordinary? Our dishes glow with this vibrant yellow-orange powder, known for its inflammation-fighting superpowers. It's believed to improve liver function, reduce inflammation, prevent tumors, and may even slow down the progression of certain cancers. In India, it's revered for enhancing skin health and maintaining youthful skin.
Traditional Indian Spices
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum)
Craving a hint of sunshine in your meal? Our crushed coriander seeds bring a zesty twist, releasing a citrusy aroma. They're believed to alleviate digestive issues, headaches, nausea, and anxiety, while offering natural healing benefits through antioxidant properties.
Cumin (Cuminum cyminum)
Feel the warm embrace of cumin in our dishes, not just pleasing your taste buds but also giving your digestion a friendly boost. This aromatic herb with a peppery, warm flavor aids digestion, reduces headaches, and alleviates nausea. Studies suggest its antioxidant properties may benefit general health improvement.
Cardamom (disambiguation)
Breathe in the minty freshness of cardamom, our secret weapon for turning every meal into a soothing experience. Known as the "Queen of Spice," it helps with digestion, asthma, colds, and respiratory problems. It's even believed to relieve gum infections and bring joy and relaxation with its aroma.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)
Discover the sweet, anise-like notes of fennel in our cuisine, a 2000-year-old tradition of flavor and wellness. This aromatic, licorice-flavored spice is known for aiding weight control and relieving digestive issues such as colic and indigestion. It can also be used as a natural breath freshener.
Garlic & Ginger
These powerhouses bring more than just taste to the table. Garlic contains antioxidants that can help reduce cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and support heart health. Ginger, regarded as a "universal medicine," has over 25 active compounds that benefit health, commonly used to treat nausea, stomach issues, and even studied for reducing chemotherapy side effects.
