This carefully crafted blend is a passport to authentic North Indian flavours, combining the subtle warmth of Kashmiri chili (known for its vibrant colour and mild heat), the complex aroma of garam masala, and the distinctive maple-like fragrance of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves). Earthy turmeric provides both golden colour and anti-inflammatory benefits, while cumin and coriander add nutty depth. The ginger and garlic powders deliver pungent warmth, and dried lemon zest brightens the blend with citrusy tang - a modern twist that enhances traditional flavours.
Blend with olive oil as a rub for lamb chops or kofta kebabs. Mix into hummus or labneh for spiced dips. Combine with coconut milk for a quick satay marinade. Toss with roasted peanuts for Indian-spiced cocktail nuts. Massage onto portobello mushrooms before grilling. Stir into quinoa or couscous for instant flavour. Shake onto sweet potato fries before baking. Mix with melted butter or ghee for spiced popcorn.
