Indian cuisine is known for its bold flavors and complex spice blends, and it’s no surprise that many of these spices and blends have become popular in the United States. From warming curries to savory snacks, Indian spices have made their way into the hearts (and stomachs) of many Americans. Some of the most popular Indian spice blends in the US include:

Garam Masala: Garam Masala is a blend of spices commonly used in Indian cuisine. The word “garam” means “hot” in Hindi, but the blend isn’t necessarily spicy. It typically contains cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, cumin, and black pepper. Garam Masala is used in a variety of dishes, from curries to soups to roasted vegetables.

Curry Powder: Curry Powder is a blend of spices that varies depending on the region of India it comes from. Common ingredients include cumin, coriander, turmeric, and ginger. Curry Powder can be used in a variety of dishes, including stews, soups, and vegetable dishes. It’s also a popular seasoning for chicken and seafood.

Chaat Masala: Chaat Masala is a tangy spice blend that’s typically sprinkled on top of street food in India. It contains a mix of amchur (dried mango powder), cumin, coriander, and black salt. Chaat Masala is often used as a seasoning for fruit, vegetables, and snacks, like roasted chickpeas or popcorn.

Tandoori Masala: Tandoori Masala is a blend of spices commonly used in Northern Indian cuisine. It typically contains cumin, coriander, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and red chili powder. Tandoori Masala is often used as a seasoning for meats, like chicken or lamb, that are cooked in a tandoor oven. It can also be used as a marinade or seasoning for grilled meats.

Sambar Powder: Sambar Powder is a spice blend commonly used in South Indian cuisine. It typically contains coriander, cumin, black pepper, fenugreek, mustard seeds, turmeric, and red chili powder. Sambar Powder is used to make sambar, a spicy lentil soup that’s often served with rice or dosa (a type of crispy pancake made from fermented rice and lentil batter).

Indian spices and spice blends are not just limited to traditional Indian cuisine. Many chefs and home cooks have started incorporating these blends into their own unique creations, leading to a rise in fusion cuisine.
