Real Indian | Made Easy™
Fourteen heritage blends from the Godmother of Indian Cookery — every great Indian dish, made properly and made easy, now on American tables.
“India’s first food influencer.”
What You’ll Make
Every blend creates a finished dish — a recipe card in the box, dinner on the table.
Our Heritage
In 1961, Mrs Balbir Singh wrote the book that brought real Indian cooking into home kitchens — decades before it was fashionable.
Indian Cookery sold 400,000 copies worldwide — one of the most successful Indian cookbooks ever published.
The first Indian cookbook Madhur Jaffrey ever bought, as mentioned in SAVEUR.
Her Shahi Chicken Masala is credited by food historians as the original Chicken Tikka Masala.
She presented India’s first televised cooking segments, on India’s national broadcaster.
“The only book that could produce food that tasted like real North Indian.”— Madhur Jaffrey · Author & Broadcaster

The Complete Collection
Every blend creates a finished dish. Meat-lover or vegetarian? A curry lover or a tandoori fan? All of the above, or a family with different tastes? This is the collection for you.
Average 12+ servings per tin.
Please note: demand for some blends is exceptional right now. If a tin sells out, that blend arrives in its fresh-lock pouch instead — same blend, same freshness, same recipe card. Your collection always arrives complete.
All-Natural · Nothing Artificial, Ever
Naturally gluten-free, made in a gluten-free facility.
Contains none of the 9 major US allergens.
Almost every blend is built for substitution. Swap the chicken for paneer to make Shahi Paneer or Paneer Makhani — or use tofu, tempeh, Quorn, mushrooms, or your favourite plant-based mince. The blend does the work; the protein is yours to choose.
Every blend sits at a flavorful medium — Mrs Balbir Singh believed the art of Indian cookery lies in the delicacy of the spicing, not raw chilli-heat. Want a little more heat? Add chopped green chillies, with or without the seeds, to taste.

Watch the blends go from tin to table.
Real Indian | Made Easy™
We’ve already hunted down, toasted, ground and blended the spices — the hard part is done. Each blend comes with a simple recipe card, and the handful of fresh ingredients you’ll need are already in your kitchen or at your local grocery store.
Independence From Mediocre
The real thing — cooked properly in your own kitchen. This is what those jars and cartons are imitating.
The Reason It Works
The blend is only half of it. Each tin ships with a simple, step-by-step recipe card written in her tradition — the same clarity that taught generations to cook. Open the tin, follow the card, serve something you’ll be proud of. Every blend creates a finished dish.
“Mrs Balbir Singh makes everyone a chef.”
As Seen In
“Magic in those little black tins.”
“Never ordering takeout again.”
“Far better than any jar — including the premium ranges.”

All 14 heritage spice blends — 8 curries, 4 grills and rubs, and a biryani, each with its own recipe card — plus the world’s finest Original Garam Masala and a background card on Mrs Balbir Singh.
Every blend sits around a flavorful medium. Mrs Balbir Singh believed great Indian food comes from the delicacy of the spicing, not sheer chilli-heat — so the focus is flavor. For more heat, add chopped green chillies to taste.
None. No salt, no fillers, no preservatives — only spices, ground and blended. 100% plant-based and naturally gluten-free. You season to your own taste.

Dietary information: all our spice blends are vegan-friendly. For some recipe-card dishes you may need to use your favourite vegetarian or vegan alternatives where required.
Your Complete Collection ships in a plain, recyclable brown mailer box — chosen to protect the tins and keep our footprint light, not to dress up the spice. Inside: all 14 heritage blends, each with its own step-by-step recipe card written in Mrs Balbir Singh’s tradition, plus a background card on her story. All the spice and instructions you need to cook every dish, start to finish.
It’s where most people start — the Complete Collection is the whole library in one go, so you can cook your way through every dish instead of choosing just one or two. The tins are made to live on the counter, not hidden in a cupboard.
