A Taste of Tradition: Family Recipes from My Grandmother’s Kitchen

At Spice Pilgrim, our Curry Powder, Tandoori Seasoning, and Garam Masala are more than just spice blends—they’re a part of my family’s story. These recipes were lovingly passed down to me by my grandmother.

I still remember standing by her side in the kitchen, watching as she toasted whole spices to perfection, filling our home with the rich, warm aromas of our heritage. She taught me that the secret to incredible flavor wasn’t just in the spices themselves, but in the love and care that goes into blending them.

Now, I’m honored to share these family recipes with you. Every jar of our handcrafted blends is a tribute to her wisdom and devotion to real, wholesome cooking. Whether you're stirring up a comforting curry, marinating for the grill, or adding warmth to your favorite dish, these spice blends bring the taste of tradition straight to your kitchen.

From my grandmother’s hands to mine, and now to yours—enjoy the flavors of tradition in every pinch!

The Heart of Indian Cooking: A Legacy in Spice

Indian cooking isn’t just about food—it’s about family, stories, and the memories made around the dinner table. My grandmother’s kitchen was always alive with the sounds of sizzling spices, bubbling curries, and warm laughter.

She believed that food should nourish both the body and the soul. That’s why she never used artificial additives, excess salt, or sugar—just pure, carefully selected spices, roasted and ground with patience. That philosophy has become the heart of Spice Pilgrim.

Every blend we make is:
✅ Stone-ground for purity
✅ Hand-roasted for depth of flavor
✅ Salt-free, sugar-free, and preservative-free
✅ Heart-healthy and made with love

When you cook with these spices, you’re not just seasoning your food—you’re honoring a tradition of mindful, wholesome cooking.

Meet the Signature Blends: Handcrafted from Tradition

Each of our signature spice blends carries the wisdom of generations, meticulously crafted to bring authentic flavors to your kitchen.

Curry Powder – A Balanced Blend of Warmth and Depth

Curry Powder is a versatile blend that combines turmeric, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, and other aromatic spices to create a balanced, slightly sweet, and deeply flavorful seasoning. It’s the perfect base for classic Indian curries, stews, or even a simple vegetable sauté.

Try It In: Chickpea Curry, Spiced Roasted Cauliflower, or a Hearty Lentil Stew.

Tandoori Seasoning – The Secret to Bold, Smoky Flavor

Inspired by the traditional clay ovens of India, our Tandoori Seasoning is a fiery and smoky mix of paprika, garlic, ginger, and warming spices like cinnamon and cloves. It’s perfect for marinades, rubs, and even grilled vegetables.

Try It In: Tandoori Chicken, Grilled Paneer Skewers, or Spiced Roasted Potatoes.

Garam Masala – The Soul of Indian Cooking

Garam Masala is the final touch in many Indian dishes—a warm, fragrant blend that ties everything together. But what makes our Garam Masala special? It’s pan-roasted in small batches and then stone-ground to perfection. This process unlocks the deepest flavors of every spice, from cinnamon and cloves to black pepper and nutmeg.

Try It In: Sprinkle over rice for an instant flavor boost. Stir into soups for cozy, spiced depth. and Dust over eggs for a rich, bold twist.

Because we use no salt, no sugar, and no preservatives, you get pure, heart-healthy flavor with every pinch. My grandmother always sprinkled it into dishes just before serving to give them that unmistakable depth and warmth.
