Inspired by the latest trends surrounding increased interest in international cuisines, our newest collection allows consumers to explore various foods and flavors found throughout India. We chose to focus on Indian cuisine, as it has been among the most in-demand global cuisines with adventurous and not-so-adventurous consumers alike. After creating and tasting many traditional Indian dishes and a variety of spices and flavors, our team landed on three seasonings to feature in this collection to recreate authentic flavors found in some of India’s most sought-after dishes.

We sampled dishes from northern and southern India and everywhere in between to find flavor inspiration for the seasoning blends we included in this collection. Our ultimate aspiration was for this collection of seasonings to reflect the complexity of flavors found in Indian cuisine. Our R&D and marketing teams collaborated to craft flavors that would create delicious, mouthwatering seasonings that not only reflect the diverse flavors found throughout India, but also incorporate some of the top trending flavors that consumers are craving.

The seasonings in this collection were designed to be used in dishes inspired by specific regions in India, but thanks to their versatility, the possibilities go far beyond these traditional recipes. The seasoning blends can be applied to a variety of products, including prepared meals, proteins, sides, desserts, and more. Additionally, our R&D team can easily modify them to be applied on a wide range of snack products. Consumers are seeking out ways to try more international cuisines, and featuring flavors found throughout India and beyond in food and beverage products is an effective way for brands to meet those demands.

An abundance of aromatic spices come together in our Aloo Tikki Seasoning, which is inspired by a hearty and flavorful dish that hails from Northern India. Featuring fried potato patties, aloo tikki is incredibly popular not only throughout India, but also around the world, making it one of the most well-known and recognizable dishes from this region. Traditionally, aloo tikki is paired with chutney, chilies, or yogurt, so to add our own twist, we created a version that pairs wonderfully with cilantro chutney, creating a refreshing and addicting flavor. Better yet, the possibilities for this seasoning go far beyond potatoes! From prepared meals and sides to appetizers and more, this blend can bring authentic Indian flavors to a variety of food products.

Already a fan favorite among our marketing and R&D teams, our Kolmi/Kalmi Fry Seasoning is a crowd pleaser that brings the perfect texture, flavor, and heat to fried shrimp. Some of the most popular spices used throughout the Indian subcontinent are featured in this blend, which offers a distinctive flavor that evokes classic, nostalgic Indian cuisine, while also offering something new and exciting. We chose fried shrimp to showcase this seasoning, but it can be used on a number of other proteins including chicken, steak, and a variety of other seafood dishes. And its versatility doesn’t end there; apply this bold seasoning to sides, prepared meals, and more to create mouthwatering flavors that will keep consumers coming back for more.

Our Rose Water and Cardamom Seasoning is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. This seasoning, which puts rose water flavors and ground cardamom in the spotlight, gives corn cakes a touch of subtle, floral sweetness that consumers are going to be totally obsessed with. This seasoning is the perfect addition to baked goods and desserts. Not only that, but its flavor profile is just as versatile as it is delicious, making it ideal for a wide range of other applications as well.
