Masala Mix’ins is a company based in RI. The idea for this company has been simmering for a while. Growing up my Umma prepared predominantly Indian meals with a Western dish thrown in here or there. I love Indian food and have grown to love Indian cooking.  As a caterer, my Indian selections are quite popular. I also frequently prepare Indian meals for my friends who later ask for recipes.  More often than not I would write out recipes for enthusiastic friends who would then abandon the idea of actually making the dishes when they arrived home to find their cupboards quite lacking in needed spices.  To be honest, what makes preparing Indian food so prohibitive is the variety of spices needed - anywhere from 15-20 per dish.  Some highly motivated friends actually followed through with purchasing all the spices, but later found that those bottles of expensive spices would frequently not be used enough and would end up sitting on the shelf, losing flavor and freshness.  In addition, I would hear feedback like – I followed your recipe exactly, but it didn’t turn out quite like yours. Of course, the other component of spice is the proportion.  In recent years, I started sending my friends home with little baggies of spices that they could use; this made Indian cuisine more accessible to them, and they loved the success they found in their kitchens.  Thus, Masala Mix’ins was born.

Again, the key to Indian cooking is really access to fresh spice and a knowledge of the proportions needed to create the curries desired.  Masala Mix’ins addresses both of these issues.  Each curry variety is hand packed to order with a perfect proportion of freshness and flavor.  These masalas are great for the beginner as well as any ‘foodie’ looking to try something new.  Follow the recipes provided with your masala packets precisely, and I guarantee that you will create dishes that will be sure to please your family or any Indian food enthusiast.  Of course, as my Umma says, “what’s cooking without a little experimentation?”; feel free to do so with the blends.

We currently have 12 varieties, many names probably familiar from your visits to the local Indian eatery.  Please submit your feedback and let us know your questions and concerns.  Customer Service is a priority, and if you are dissatisfied, we want to have the opportunity to rectify the situation.
