Britannia Good Day Pistachio & Almond Cookies are butter cookies from Britannia's long-running Good Day range, made with visible pieces of pistachio and almond mixed into the dough. Good Day is one of India's most widely recognised biscuit brands.

The cookies have a rich, buttery taste with a crisp, crumbly texture, and the pistachio and almond pieces add a nutty flavour and light crunch to each bite.

How to use

• Ready to eat straight from the pack, on their own or with tea or coffee.

Pack size: 72g. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal the pack after opening to keep the cookies crisp.

TRS Tapioca (Sabudana) are small hard white pearls made from cassava starch. Dry they are chalky and rattle in the packet; soaked properly they swell into soft, translucent beads that stay separate rather than clumping.

Best for

• Sabudana khichdi
• Sabudana vada
• Sabudana kheer, and fasting or vrat meals

How to cook it

Rinse in a sieve until the water runs clear, then soak in just enough water to sit level with the pearls — not more — for four to five hours or overnight. Done right, a pearl crushes to powder between finger and thumb with no hard white centre. Too much water and it turns to glue. Drain fully and fluff with a fork before cooking.

Pack and storage

500 g. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

Priya Gongura Red Chilli Pickle is the sour roselle-leaf pickle with red chilli worked into it, so it runs hotter than the plain version while keeping the same distinctive leaf sourness underneath. It is made without garlic.

Best for

• Hot rice with a spoon of ghee
• Dal and rice, or ragi sangati
• Curd rice, which balances the heat

Serving

Start with half a teaspoon, since the chilli is noticeably forward here and it is easier to add a second spoon than to sit through the first one. Use a dry spoon and level the surface so the oil covers the pickle again before the jar goes away; pickle left above the oil line spoils first. Serve something plain alongside rather than another strongly spiced dish.

Pack and storage

300g jar. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

MDH Meat Curry Masala is a dark, robust blend for slow-cooked mutton and lamb, where the spicing has to hold up over a long simmer. It is heavier and warmer than an everyday sabzi masala, with pepper and toasted whole-spice notes coming through.

Best for

• Mutton or lamb curry with onion and tomato
• Goat curry cooked in a pressure cooker
• Beef and other slow-braised meat dishes

Using it

Brown the meat first, then add the masala to the fried onion, ginger and garlic and cook it in the oil for a minute before any water goes in. Three teaspoons suits half a kilo of meat. Pressure cook for four to five whistles, or simmer covered for an hour, then reduce the gravy uncovered at the end so the spices concentrate.

Pack and storage

100g pack. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

Priya Chicken 65 Masala is the blend for the South Indian fried chicken of the same name: hot, sharply red and tangy, with chilli well forward. It is a marinade mix rather than a curry powder, so it is used before the frying, not after.

Best for

• Bite-sized boneless chicken fry
• Paneer 65 and gobi 65
• Prawn 65

Using it

Cut boneless chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate with two to three teaspoons of the masala, thick curd, a spoon of cornflour, salt and a squeeze of lemon for at least an hour. Fry in hot oil in small batches so the temperature does not drop, until the pieces are deep red and cooked through. Finish by tossing them in a hot pan with curry leaves and slit green chillies for under a minute, and serve straight away while the coating is still crisp.

Pack and storage

50g pack. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

Udhaiyam Red Lentils (Masoor Dal) are premium split red lentils that cook quickly to a smooth, velvety consistency. Used worldwide in soups, stews and traditional Indian dal dishes.

• Quick-cooking split red lentils
• Perfect for dal, soups, stews and curries
  

Udhaiyam Maida is refined wheat flour, milled fine and with the bran removed, so it is soft, white and low in the coarse particles that give atta its character. It makes the stretchy, soft dough that Indian fried breads and restaurant-style breads need, and it behaves like a plain all-purpose flour in baking.

Best for

• Bhatura, naan and poori
• Samosa and kachori pastry
• Cakes, biscuits and general baking

How to cook it

Maida takes less water than atta, so add it gradually. For bhatura or naan, make a soft dough with curd and a raising agent and rest it somewhere warm for two hours before shaping. For samosa pastry, work oil or ghee into the flour first until it holds its shape when pressed, then bring it together with cold water into a stiff dough and rest it thirty minutes, which is what gives a crisp, blistered shell rather than a soft one.

Pack and storage

1kg pack. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening, in an airtight container.

Aachi Chaat Masala is a tangy, zingy spice blend that is the soul of Indian street food. Made with amchur, black salt, cumin and chilli, it elevates fruit chaat, pani puri, bhel puri and snacks with its signature sour-spicy kick.

Aachi Garam Masala is a classic warming whole-spice blend made from cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, pepper and star anise. A finishing spice added to curries, biryanis and marinades for depth and fragrance.

• Classic warming blend of whole aromatic spices
• Use as a finishing spice or marinade enhancer
  

Aachi Chicken 65 Masala is the original spice blend for the iconic South Indian fried chicken dish. Its bold combination of chilli, pepper and aromatic spices creates the signature fiery, tangy Chicken 65 flavour.

Haldiram Palak Paneer is a ready-to-eat curry of paneer cubes in a smooth spinach gravy, sealed in a pouch that needs no refrigeration until opened. The gravy is mild and creamy rather than fiery, and the paneer stays soft through heating.

Best for

• Serving with naan, roti or rice
• A quick vegetarian dinner
• Office lunches and travel

How to cook it

Immerse the unopened pouch in boiling water for four to five minutes, or pour the contents into a pan and heat gently for three to four minutes, stirring so the spinach does not catch. In the microwave, cover and heat for about two minutes. Stir well before serving.

Pack and storage

300 g pouch. Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate leftovers and finish them the same day. Contains dairy.

TRS Garam Masala is the ground blend of warm spices — the finishing masala rather than a base one. Where turmeric and chilli go in at the start of a dish, garam masala is what you stir in near the end to lift the aroma.

Best for

• Finishing curries, dals and vegetable dishes
• Kebab mixes, koftas and marinades
• Chole, rajma and rich meat gravies

Using it

Add half a teaspoon in the last two or three minutes of cooking, or sprinkle it over just before serving — long boiling flattens the aroma and can leave a bitter edge. Use it alongside coriander and cumin powder, not instead of them; it is there for perfume, not for body. Keep the jar tightly shut, as ground blends fade quickly.

Pack and storage

100 g. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

Priya Amla Pickle is Indian gooseberry, cut in pieces and pickled in oil with chilli and mustard, made without garlic. Amla is astringent and very sour on its own; the salt and oil round it out, leaving a puckering tartness that stays on the tongue well after the mouthful.

Best for

• Curd rice
• Plain hot rice with ghee
• Dal and rice, or khichdi

Serving

One piece at a time is plenty, particularly if amla is new to you, as the astringency is stronger than in a mango or lime pickle. Use a dry spoon and press the pieces back under the oil before the jar is closed, since anything above the oil line spoils first. Serve it alongside something plain and starchy rather than with another sour dish.

Pack and storage

300g jar. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

Priya Mango Avakaya Pickle is the Andhra mango pickle: raw mango cut in pieces and cured in mustard, chilli powder and oil. This is the version made without garlic, for kitchens that keep garlic out. The taste is hot, salty and sour all at once, with the mustard coming through clearly behind the chilli.

Best for

• Hot rice with a spoon of ghee
• Curd rice
• Dosa, idli and chapati

Serving

Avakaya is meant to be eaten in small quantities, so serve a modest spoonful at the side of the plate rather than mixing it through the whole meal. Always use a dry spoon and press the pieces back down afterwards so the oil covers the pickle again, because anything sitting above the oil line is what spoils first. If the oil has thickened in a cold kitchen, let the jar stand at room temperature for a while before serving.

Pack and storage

300g jar. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

TRS Red Lentils (Masoor Dal) are split, skinned lentils, orange in the packet and pale gold on the plate. They need no soaking and cook faster than any other dal, which makes them the one to reach for on a weeknight.

Best for

• Everyday masoor dal
• Lentil soups and one-pot stews
• Khichdi, and soft first foods

How to cook it

Rinse two or three times until the water runs clear. Simmer with roughly 3 parts water to 1 part dal for 20 to 25 minutes, or pressure cook for 2 whistles, skimming the foam early on. Whisk briefly at the end if you want it smooth. A tempering of cumin, garlic and dried chilli in hot ghee finishes it.

Pack and storage

500 g. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

MDH Pani Puri Masala is the sour, salty, mint-and-cumin blend used to make the spiced water for pani puri. It is built around tang rather than heat, with roasted cumin and black salt doing most of the work.

Best for

• Pani for pani puri and golgappa
• Jaljeera-style chilled drinks
• Sprinkling over chaat, fruit or boiled potato

Using it

Stir about two tablespoons into a litre of cold water with tamarind pulp and a little jaggery, then leave it for twenty to thirty minutes so the flavour comes together. Strain it, add chopped mint and coriander and chill it thoroughly before serving. Adjust tamarind and salt to taste rather than adding more masala, which can turn the water muddy.

Pack and storage

100g pack. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

Schani Cumin Powder is ground jeera — warm, earthy and faintly bitter, one of the two or three spices an Indian kitchen never runs out of. 100g.

Ground cumin goes in where whole seeds would be too coarse: into curry and sabzi masalas, dal, chole, rajma and kebab mixes, into raita, buttermilk and jaljeera, and dusted over chaat and fruit. It is also a backbone of garam masala and of most Middle Eastern and Mexican spice blends.

Add it to the pan with the onions and tomatoes rather than at the very start, since ground cumin scorches faster than the whole seed. Keep the pack tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard — ground spice loses its aroma quickly once air gets to it.

Udhaiyam Brown Lentils in the 500g pack are whole masoor, skin on, for a household that cooks them occasionally rather than weekly. The skin is what keeps them intact in the pot, so unlike split red lentils they finish as separate lentils in a broth rather than as a thick purée.

Best for

• Whole masoor dal
• Soups, stews and warm lentil salads
• Khichdi where the grain should stay distinct

How to cook it

Rinse and check for stones. Thirty minutes of soaking helps but is not required. In a pressure cooker, two and a half parts water to one part lentils for three or four whistles; in an open pot, thirty-five to forty minutes at a simmer with the lid ajar. Add salt towards the end rather than at the start, and temper with cumin, garlic and chilli in hot ghee just before serving.

Pack and storage

500g pack. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening, in an airtight container.

Udhaiyam Brown Lentils are whole masoor with the brown skin left on, which is what makes them behave so differently from the split red lentil. They hold their shape through cooking instead of collapsing, so they suit dishes where you want to see and feel the lentil rather than a smooth purée.

Best for

• Whole masoor dal and dhaba-style dal
• Lentil soups, stews and salads
• Khichdi and lentil rice dishes with texture

How to cook it

Rinse well and pick over for stones. Soaking is not essential but thirty minutes shortens the cooking. Pressure cook with about two and a half parts water to one part lentils for three or four whistles, or simmer for thirty-five to forty minutes until tender but still whole. Salt near the end, as salting early keeps the skins firm. Finish with a tempering of cumin, garlic and dried chilli in ghee.

Pack and storage

1kg pack. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening, in an airtight container.

Haldiram Choley is a ready-to-eat chickpea curry in a dark, tangy north Indian gravy, sealed in a shelf-stable pouch. The chickpeas hold their shape while the gravy carries the sourness of amchur and a steady background heat.

Best for

• Serving with bhature, puri or rice
• A fast meal when the kitchen is closed
• Travel and packed lunches

How to cook it

Heat the sealed pouch in boiling water for four to five minutes, or empty it into a pan and warm through for three to four minutes, stirring occasionally. A covered bowl in the microwave takes about two minutes. Loosen with a little hot water if the gravy has thickened.
