Maharashtra spices

Maharashtra sits between Deccan chilli, goda masala, and the Mumbai-Pune grocer demand that still shapes what UK Indian kitchens cook every week.

Turmeric, chilli and mixed spice blending for goda masala and kala masala are the regional story. Blends are recipes, not single-origin spices.

Goda masala for amti, kala masala for rassa, and a daily tadka of mustard, cumin and asafoetida. Maharashtrian heat is often layered rather than one chilli dumped in.

These spices are commonly associated with Maharashtra. That is a regional story, not a guarantee that every bag on this site is from that state. Country of origin and region on the pack must follow the lot.
