• AUTHENTIC CHETTINAD FLAVOUR FROM TAMIL NADU'S CHETTINAD REGION: Chettinad cuisine from the Sivaganga district of Tamil Nadu is celebrated as one of India's most aromatic and complex cooking traditions — built on rare, stone-ground spices that no other regional cuisine uses. SARANZ Chettinad Masala is crafted on this tradition, blending signature spices including Kalpasi (stone flower), Marathi Mokku (dried flower pods), Gundu Milagai, star anise, and freshly ground pepper into a bold, fiery, deeply layered spice blend. This is not a generic South Indian curry powder — it is a specifically Chettinad masala with the depth and complexity the cuisine demands
• VERSATILE COOKING MASALA FOR CHETTINAD DISHES: Use as the primary cooking masala for Chettinad chicken kuzhambu — the dish that put this cuisine on India's culinary map. Build a bold mutton or lamb kuzhambu that rivals restaurant quality at home. Dry-roast the masala with pepper for an authentic Chettinad pepper fry coating on chicken or paneer. Stir into fish and prawn curries for the coastal Tamil flavour profile. Layer into Chettinad biryani rice along with whole spices for a deeply aromatic one-pot. Works equally well for veg kuzhambu with drumstick, brinjal, or raw banana for a completely authentic vegetarian Chettinad experience
• FIERY, SMOKY, PEPPERY AND DEEPLY AROMATIC — THE BOLD CHETTINAD SPICE CHARACTER IN EVERY SPOONFUL: Chettinad masala is defined by heat and fragrance working together — not one overpowering the other. SARANZ builds this balance with a high-pepper base that brings the characteristic Chettinad heat, layered with the floral sweetness of Kalpasi and Marathi Mokku, the smokiness of gundu milagai, the earthiness of kari patta, and the warm depth of cinnamon and clove. The result is a multi-layered, bold masala that smells extraordinary while cooking and delivers genuine Chettinad complexity on the plate. Spice level is high — true to the cuisine's heritage
• 100% NATURAL SPICES — NO ADDED COLORS, NO ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVES, NO FILLERS: SARANZ Chettinad Masala contains only whole spices, sourced and ground in small artisanal batches — no synthetic dyes, no artificial flavour enhancers, no MSG, no anti-caking agents, and no fillers. The rich reddish-brown colour comes entirely from gundu milagai and roasted whole spices — not from added colour agents. Chettinad's spice tradition is built on purity and intensity, and SARANZ honours that by letting the real spices do every bit of the work. Clean enough for daily home cooking, complex enough for special occasion feasts
• 100G AIRTIGHT BOTTLE — FRESHNESS-SEALED TO PRESERVE CHETTINAD'S RARE AROMATIC SPICES: Chettinad masala contains volatile aromatic compounds from Kalpasi, Marathi Mokku, and freshly ground pepper that degrade rapidly when exposed to air and moisture — making airtight packaging essential, not optional. SARANZ packs this blend in a sturdy 100g airtight bottle that locks in peak freshness and potency from first use to last. Shelf-stable for up to 18 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Compact enough for any spice cupboard. A food gift option for South Indian food lovers, Tamil diaspora households, and anyone passionate about India's regional cuisine traditions
For Chettinad pepper fry, dry-roast the masala with pepper and use as a coating on chicken or paneer. Layer into Chettinad biryani rice along with whole spices for aromatic one-pot cooking. Works equally well for vegetarian kuzhambu with drumstick, brinjal, or raw banana. Add during cooking to build bold, fiery, and deeply aromatic Chettinad flavour profile in your dishes.
