The Spice Dabba Set

Indian spices for daily cooking.

In Indian homes, the dabba is not just a container—it is a ritual. This set brings together essential blends, single-origin spices, and unique creations curated to complement one another. Designed to live on your counter, not your shelf, it is meant to be used daily, adapted freely, and layered generously.

Chai

star anise, cardamom, rose
A warming, fragrant blend. Our Chai masala combines star anise with bright green cardamom, floral rose petals, and the piquant sweetness of Tellicherry black pepper.

Everything Indian

fennel, nigella, sesame, dhania
A nutty twist on the everything bagel. Everything Indian is a toasty, crunchy mix of fennel, nigella, and sesame finished with the earthy citrus of dhania coriander.

Everyday Masala

Alleppey turmeric, coriander, chili
A versatile blend of iconic Indian spices. Everyday Masala combines earthy Alleppey turmeric, nutty coriander, cumin, and chili that bloom with rich fragrance.

Garam Masala

cardamom, clove, cumin
Garam Masala captures the rich depth of cardamom and clove with a sweet hint of cinnamon. Perfect for classic Indian dishes, braised lentils, and even banana bread.

Ground Cumin

rich, earthy, bold
All the nutty richness of cumin seeds in pre-ground form. Ground cumin brings bold, meaty flavor to roasted carrots, grilled steak tacos, or masala cheese toast.

Kashmiri Chili Powder

smoky-sweet, deep red chili
A rich chili powder. Kashmiri chili combines mild heat and layers of smoky-sweet flavor for a savory finish with a vibrant red hue.

Tandoori

cumin, paprika, black cardamom
Tandoori's complex flavors come from nutty cumin, smoky black cardamom and a savory hit of garlic layered with paprika – perfect for grilling and roasting.

Turmeric

rich, earthy, golden spice
With its uniquely deep color, well-rounded Alleppey turmeric infuses dishes with a hint of ginger, earthy notes, and a golden glow.
