Hot Madras Mix (200G) is our love letter to Tamil kitchens. Inspired by Kara Kozhambu, the tangy, spicy, tamarind-heavy curry that’s been a Sunday ritual in countless homes. This jar brings all the fire and comfort without hours of roasting and grinding.

It’s a thick, spoonable gravy base made with slow-browned garlic, natural tamarind, sesame, jaggery, and a carefully balanced blend of chilies, curry leaves, and roasted spices. The result? Smoky, tangy, bold and deeply nostalgic.

Mix it with hot rice, serve with crispy dosas, or spoon over steamed veggies, paneer, or fish. One jar takes you straight to a Tamil kitchen, minus the sweat and mess.

With this mix, a steaming pot of rice, curd, or even spaghetti can transform into a full-bodied meal in minutes. Every spoonful is rich, tangy, spicy, and slightly smoky, the way Madras likes it.

✨ The taste of home, now ready in minutes.
