Indian Traditional Spices

Indian cuisine uses many different spices (masala), not just for a layering effect of flavours, but also for their nutritional and medicinal value which is rooted in Siddha Medicine.

India produces a wide range of spices and holds a prominent position in world spice production. Because of the varying climates - from tropical to sub-tropical to temperate - almost all spices grow splendidly in India.
