How do you choose an Indian masala? Start with the dish and the flavour you want. A recipe-specific blend can make seasoning straightforward, while single spices let you build a flavour one ingredient at a time.
Masala blends and single spices
A masala blend combines spices for a particular style of cooking. Khat Mitthi’s range includes blends such as Rajma Masala, Pav Bhaji Masala, Garam Masala and Chai Masala. Single spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, black pepper and red chilli powder are useful when a recipe calls for them individually.
Product names help you navigate the range, but recipes vary. Check each product page and pack label for its ingredient list, then follow the recipe you are cooking.
What “low-heat ground” means at Khat Mitthi
Khat Mitthi uses “low-heat” to describe a slower, small-batch approach to grinding spices. The aim is to make aroma and flavour central to the process. This describes our preparation approach; it is not a nutrition or health claim, and we do not publish a specific milling temperature.
