EASY MEAL SPICE PACKETS
Butter Chicken, Saag Paneer, or Tikka Masala - each recipe straight from Meherwan's kitchen. One single packet holds a full recipe's worth of spices, so there's no measuring and no half-used tins. Add your protein and pantry basics, and dinner for four lands in 30 minutes or less. Stocking stuffer math has never worked out this well.
$2.50 per packet

Jugaad It!
In India, Jugaad (joo-gahd) is the mindset that we get it done...
Jugaad It!
Salt, sugar, and MSG in one tin: the foundation of flavour and balance. Jugaad It! doesn't add a taste so much as turn up the one already on the plate, the way a squeeze of lemon does, or a pinch of salt on watermelon. Shake it on fresh veggies, popcorn, noodle bowls, in a lime yogurt, or (trust us) a savory martini. Keep it by the stove and get read to use it on everything.
$11.99

Signature Sugar Collection
Maple French Sugar Toast Sugar, Vanilla Bean Sugar, and Salted Honey. Our new Signature Sugar Collection belongs on buttered toast, latte foam, cookie tops, and the rim of anything with bourbon in it. Pick up a 7oz single tin of your favorite, or grab the 3-pack and let the sweet lover in your life decide. Your mornings have never tasted this sweet!
$11.99 for single tin, $21.99 for 3-pack
