Journey of Masala Blend: The Taste for Memories

My journey to learn cooking with taste and flavor started way back in 1997 when I moved to the United States from Mumbai, India. As I settled in a new country, I started missing familiar flavors and aromas, especially mom's cooking. Calls back home would be asking for recipes and the spices mom used. I hoped to recreate these recipes with the taste of memories that I carried with me.

 



The seed of Masala Blend took roots while I was attending graduate school at George Mason University. Those years my weekends were all about experimenting blending spices the traditional way my mom made. My goal was to cook nutritious meals in less time as I was attending graduate school as well as working full-time as a Special Education teacher. 

After years of making the blends for myself and sharing with family and friends, I launched Masala Blend on July 4, 2019, with a vision to support farm to fork initiative and promote nutritious easy to cook dishes. 

Masala Blend – The Taste for Memories!

Masala Blend is a small business based in Northern California, locally handcrafting spice blends of our family's traditional recipes. Our versatile blends are made in small batches with all-natural ingredients to ensure quality and freshness in each spice bottle. We purchase all the spices and other raw materials locally, and our spice blends are made in Stockton.

 

Our Masala Blends are gluten-free; dairy-free; no added colors or preservatives. They are vegetarian and vegan friendly and can be used in any cuisine while cooking or just by sprinkling as a topping or garnish. We offer 24 different varieties of spice blends; each has its own unique flavor and aroma. We take pride in the high quality of our products.

Since the launch of Masala Blend, I have met and interacted with many amazing people. Few have become lifelong friends. The feedback received has been incredibly positive and supportive for us to keep doing what we love.

Thank you!

Keep using our Masala Blend in your recipes and dishes. 

From our kitchen to yours – Masala Blend — add an extra sprinkle of love and serve!
