What makes Iyarkai Pantry Tamil masala powder different

Tamil home cooks have always known the difference between a masala powder made with whole spices roasted at the right temperature and a commercial blend using filler or stale stock. Each Iyarkai Pantry Tamil masala powder is made in small batches in Tirunelveli by Mrs. Esakkiammal Petchimuthu, stone-ground and packed fresh rather than sitting in a warehouse.

The range covers the full Tamil kitchen — sambar powder and kulambu powder for everyday rice meals, chilli powder and coriander powder as the spice base, garam masala for festive gravies, and dedicated masala powder blends for chicken and mutton. Every Tamil masala powder in the range is made without artificial flavours, synthetic colours or chemical preservatives. FSSAI Registration No. 22426585000005 covers the entire product range.

Sambar & Kulambu blends

The two most-used masala powders in a South Indian kitchen. Sambar powder is roasted for a lighter, clean dal flavour. Kulambu powder has more dried chilli and tamarind affinity, making it ideal for thick gravies and kuzhambu.

Meat masalas

Chicken masala and mutton masala are formulated for Tamil-style wet and dry preparations. Garam masala is a warm, aromatic dry blend for festive curries, slow-cooked meats and rice dishes.

Everyday spice powders

Chilli powder, coriander powder and curry leaves powder are made fresh in small quantities. Coriander is stone-ground; chilli is sun-dried and ground without added colour. Each batch is packed immediately after grinding.
