Questions

Premixed Indian spices: your questions answered

What are premixed Indian spices?

Premixed Indian spices are complete spice blends made for one specific dish. Instead of buying a dozen jars, you get every spice a recipe needs, already measured and mixed, so you can cook an authentic curry, biryani or street food snack at home.

How many people does one packet serve?

Each packet is portioned for one recipe for two people. Cooking for four or six? Simply use two or three packets.

Is there a recipe for each spice mix?

Yes. Every spice mix has its full recipe online, on its own product page and in our Recipes section, with the fresh ingredients to add and a simple step by step method.

Which spice mix should I start with?

If you prefer mild flavours, start with butter chicken, korma or tikka masala. For more heat, try jalfrezi, madras or vindaloo. Use the filters above to browse by heat or vegetarian dishes.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. We ship our Indian spice mixes worldwide with tracked delivery, including Europe, the UK, North and South America, Australia and Asia.

How should I store the spice mixes?

Keep the packets in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight. Ground spices taste best when fresh, so we recommend using them within a few months. Each packet is made for one recipe, so use it all in one go.

Why can't I find these spices where I live?

In many countries, spices like kasuri methi, amchur, black salt or Kashmiri chilli are hard to find outside specialist shops, and expats often struggle most to recreate the dishes they grew up with. We post complete, authentic blends to more than 60 countries, so you can cook them wherever you live.

Are your spice mixes gluten free?

Most of our blends are naturally gluten free. Blends that contain asafoetida may include a small amount of wheat flour, which is how asafoetida is traditionally prepared. Every product page lists the allergens in that blend.

Do the spice mixes contain salt or additives?

Our blends are made from spices only, with no added colours, preservatives or anti caking agents. Salt is only included where the dish depends on it, such as the black salt in our chaat and pani puri blends, so you can season everything else to taste.

Can I cook for more than two people?

Yes. Use one packet for every two people. The Cooking for option on each product page works out how many packets you need.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Yes, if your order has not been packed yet. Contact us as soon as possible, ideally within two hours of ordering, and we will update or cancel it and refund you in full.
