The surge in Indian restaurants across the world has also helped the spread of Indian aromas and tastes among the masses increasing their popularity day by day. 

Though the cooking style varies from region to region and is divided into South, West, East and North Indian cuisine, one thing is common everywhere - Spices.  
From our daily meals to delicacies prepared during festivals, our food is incomplete without the aromatic and flavourful touch of spices. For many years, spices have been a crucial component of India’s external trade with foreign countries.   



Over the years, seasoning and spices industries have witnessed a remarkable rise in demand from the commercial and household sectors, not only due to their taste and flavour but also their associated health benefits. In FY20, India exported spices worth US$ 3.65 billion.

Blended masalas are a combination of various spices that are blended and packed together. Blended masalas come handy when you have to cook a particular delicacy from a different cuisine. The reason why they are preferred is that you don’t have to worry about the proportion of spices or buy individual packs of spices that you need for making a particular dish. The quantity is already taken care of by the spice manufacturers.
