Kashmiri Masala tikki (Spice blend)

1. About Kashmiri Masala Tikki Spice Blend
Hand-crafted in the Pandit culinary tradition of Kashmir, our Kashmiri Masala Tikki is an aromatic medley of sun-dried Kashmiri chillies, royal cumin, stone-ground fennel, wild mountain coriander, dried ginger (sonth), green cardamom, clove buds, a whisper of saffron strands, and pink Himalayan rock salt. Small-batch roasting locks in volatile oils, giving you a warm, floral heat with sweet undertones that generic “tandoori” blends simply cannot match. Zero preservatives. Zero artificial colour. Pure spice alchemy packed at source at GI-certified farms outside Srinagar.
