Step 01
Buying At The Gate
Our buyers sit with the growers through the auction and take only the top two grades of each lot.

Every Colour On The Masala Shelf

Shop By Shelf
Seven Shelves, One Counter
Since 1992
A Family Counter In The Old Spice Market
Zafrana began as one stall of sacks in Khari Baoli. Three decades on we still buy the same way — by hand, by nose, one harvest at a time — and the grinding stone at the back of the shop has never been replaced.
-
Bought At The Farm Gate
Our buyers travel to Idukki, Lakadong and Wayanad every season and pay the grower directly.
-
Ground The Day It Ships
Nothing sits milled on a shelf. The stone runs each morning against that day's order list.
-
Sold By The Harvest, Not The Year
Each label carries the month it was picked, so you always know how much life is left in it.

Step 02
Winnow And Clean
Stalk, husk and grit are lifted out on the air table before anything reaches the drying yard.
Step 03
Shade And Sun Drying
Turmeric goes out to full sun, cardamom to shade. Both are turned by hand until the moisture is right.
Step 04
The Grinding Stone
A slow stone mill keeps the powder under 42°C, so the oils stay in the spice instead of burning off.
Step 05
Blending By Ratio
Every masala is weighed to a written ratio, then tasted against the house reference before it is signed off.
Step 06
Jarred And Away
Filled into amber glass, nitrogen flushed and sealed within the hour, then out on the same day's courier.

What Cooks Say After The First Jar
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 HouseWe 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 & CardamomThe 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.
