The Starter Set

Yes — these six cover the vast majority of everyday Indian cooking. Coriander, turmeric, and chili form every curry base. Cumin, pepper, and cloves handle tempering and finishing. You can make dal, biryani, sambar, chicken curry, paneer masala, jeera rice, rasam, chai, and more. For specific recipes, you might add garam masala or other spices — but these six are the foundation everything else builds on.

Byadgi is the most versatile starter chili — it gives stunning deep red colour with almost no heat, so it works in every recipe without overwhelming anyone. It's family-friendly and pairs beautifully with the other five spices. If you want more heat, you can always add our Kashmiri Trio (warm) or Red Chilli separately later.

It's designed exactly for that. Whether you're an Indian cook setting up a new kitchen or a non-Indian cook exploring Indian food for the first time, these six spices are all you need to start cooking authentic dishes. The Uses tab has specific recipes and techniques for each spice.

Each pouch is 8oz (225g). Six pouches gives you 48oz (3 lbs) of spice total — that's 4–5× more per pouch than boutique brands sell for $13–14. This set will last months of daily cooking.

The trios give you 3 spices for a specific purpose (curry base, tempering, or a specific heat level). The Starter Set gives you both — ground spices for bases AND whole spices for tempering — in one complete kit. Think of it as the Everyday Trio + the Tadka Trio combined, with Byadgi chili added for colour.
