Meherwan Irani's debut cookbook arrives September 22. These are the ten spices his recipes ask for again and again, packed together in small tins so you can start cooking on page one instead of standing in an aisle guessing.
Not because the spices are obscure. Because buying ten of them separately, in the right forms, from a source that you trust, is a genuine chore.
So we did it for you.
This collection is built off the spices that show up most often across the book. Chaat masala for the street snacks. Tandoori masala for anything that hits high heat. Whole cumin and mustard seed for the tadka that opens half the recipes in the home-cooking chapter. Nothing here is filler. If a tin is in this box, you will open it in the first week.
Three house blends. Seven single spices. One shelf, fully stocked.
