Journey of Masala Blend: The Taste of 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 from mom and the spices she 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, Virginia. 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. Time was of the essence. 

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 healthy easy cooking. 

Masala Blend – The Taste of Memories!

Masala Blend is a small business based in Northern California, locally crafting spice blends of our family's traditional recipes. Our versatile blends are crafted 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 in the USA, and our blends are made locally in Stockton, CA.

Our spice blends are gluten-free; dairy-free; no added colors, flavors 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 more than 20 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 to us to keep doing what we love. Thank you! Keep using our Masala Blend in your recipes and dishes.
