Why does food matter to you? For some of us it’s fuel. For others it’s family, celebration, or knowing exactly what goes into our bodies. I believe the food we cook in South Indian kitchens tastes its best with the right spices.
What if we cooked like our grandparents? Ask your amma or paati and you’ll hear the secrets: the masala roasted every Sunday, the podi that went on every idli. Those recipes are worth keeping. Ours have been in the family for over 50 years.
Why can’t spice blends be this simple? Single-origin spices, hand-roasted and ground in small batches in Melbourne. No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Just the way it’s always been done at home.
Happy cooking, Sakthi
