Step 01
Bought At The Gate
Our buyers sit through the auction with a moisture meter and pay the grower on their own scale.
The Market Floor
Sixty Four Spices, One Counter, No Middlemen
Walk the shelf the way our buyers do — by harvest, by origin, by what came off the stone this morning.
Ground Before Dawn
Milled On Stone At Five, Sealed Before Seven
Nothing waits on a shelf for months. The mill runs the morning your order leaves us, and the jar is capped while it is still warm.
Sixteen Origins
Bought At The Gate, Never Through A Middleman
Our buyers travel every season, weigh against the grower's own scale and pay on the day. Two hundred and fourteen farms, sixteen countries.
Milled To Order
The stone runs each morning against that day's orders, and no further.
Paid At The Gate
Two hundred and fourteen growers, paid on the day against their own scale.
Harvest On The Label
Every jar carries the month the lot was lifted, not a generic date.
Out Within 24h
Filled, nitrogen flushed and sealed within the hour of milling.
Blend Of The Week
Change The Ratio
The House Garam, Written Out In Full
We do not keep the ratio secret. Here is exactly what goes into the jar, and the builder will let you move any of it before we mill.
- Coriander Seed 30%
- Cumin Seed 20%
- Kashmiri Chilli 18%
- Tellicherry Pepper 12%
- Lakadong Turmeric 12%
- Green Cardamom 8%
Your Jar
Six spices, one hundred grams. Move a slider and the rest of the jar tells you what it costs.
Coriander Seed
The body of the blend - nutty, faintly citrus, never loud.
30%
$6.20 / 100g
Cumin Seed
Toasted before milling, which is where the smoke comes from.
20%
$7.40 / 100g
Kashmiri Chilli
Colour without much burn - the safest way to add red.
18%
$8.40 / 100g
Tellicherry Pepper
Late-picked berries, so the heat arrives after the aroma.
12%
$12.40 / 100g
Lakadong Turmeric
High curcumin, deep orange, slightly bitter at the finish.
12%
$6.80 / 100g
Green Cardamom
The most expensive gram in the jar. A little goes a long way.
8%
$16.50 / 100g
Before You Mill
Three Things Worth Knowing
Fat Carries The Flavour
Anything over about a fifth chilli needs oil or ghee to open up. Dry heat alone will only toast the outside and leave the middle raw.
Cardamom Bullies
Past ten percent, green cardamom takes over everything else in the jar. Our house ratio sits at eight for exactly that reason.
Ground Blends Age Fast
A custom jar is at its best inside three months. We mill to order rather than hold stock, so the clock starts the day it leaves us.
The House
Three Generations Behind One Grinding Stone
Masalyn started as a single stall of jute sacks in Khari Baoli, bought from a retiring trader for less than the stock was worth. The shop has moved twice since. The stone at the back of it never has.

How It Gets Here
The Full Route
Three Steps We Will Not Skip
Step 02
Held Whole, Not Ground
Nothing is milled on arrival. The lot sits whole in the cool room until an order calls for it.
Step 03
Milled The Morning It Ships
A slow stone mill keeps the powder under 42 degrees, so the oils stay in the spice.

We buy twelve kilos a month for the bakery and every delivery has the harvest month printed on it. No other supplier has ever bothered to tell us that.
Rohan Pillai
Owner, Dough & Cardamom
I opened the garam masala on the counter and the whole kitchen turned around. It smells like something that was ground this week, because it was.
Anita Mehra
Head Chef, Saffron House
The blend builder let me rebuild my grandmother's ratio exactly. I sent it once and now the same jar arrives every month without a phone call.
