I always recommend either finding a great garam masala that you love or making your own. Spicewalla has a fantastic one,” Siddiqi says. “It’s a staple in so many dishes and so many of the premade ones are trash.

The most outstanding restaurant in America, according to the James Beard Foundation, is an Indian street-snack spot in Asheville. As an added bonus, you can purchase herbs, spices and more from Irani’s Spicewalla brand to take home, including garam masala and chai-spiced hot chocolate.

Chances are that it’s time to spice up your spice cabinet. It's hard to tell how long that garlic powder has been there. Brought to you by a James Beard Award–winning chef, these rubs, marinades, and seasonings are made in small batches, so they’re super fresh. Grilling just got spicier!

Spicewalla’s kitchen essentials collection has 18 different spices, each with a label in a different color, and is packaged in a way that is reminiscent of those color-coded bookshelves that are all over inspirational/aspirational mood boards.

Spicewalla has a team of four developers working on new blends that hit on four key attributes: visual interest when you open the tin, aroma, how the blend tastes straight up, and how that flavor transforms when cooked.
