Vasant Masala
Vasant Masala is a trustworthy brand, which provides pure, fresh and hygienic products. They have an exotic range of spices, which uplifts the taste and fragrance of the food dish. Vasant’s product range includes basic, blended, ground, whole and specialty spices.
Vasant Masala has come up with a unique idea of Immunity Kavach Kit that helps boost immunity, especially during COVID-19 period. I have been consuming the kit since a couple of months, and the best part is it includes turmeric powder, ginger powder, black pepper powder, cinnamon powder, clove powder and carom seeds. All these spices have health benefits associated with it, and, conveniently, I got all the spices in a single kit only. I also got 70 grams of free honey — it is like a cherry on the top!

Ramdev Masala
Ramdev Masala was incepted in 1965 but gained a lot of popularity in the last few years only. In the last decade or so, Ramdev Masala has become one of the leading spice brands in the Indian Spice Industry. It has developed a lot of curiosity in me to check out the product range.
On trying, I got to know about the wide product range of Ramdev masala, which includes — basic spices, blended spices, hing (asafoetida), premium basic spices, instant mixes, papad, namkeen and wafers. All products are high on hygiene standards and are of pure quality.

Catch Masala
Catch Masala has been one of the most popular brands in North and Central India. The brand has got a lot of recognition through one of its product ‘sprinklers’. I have been a regular user of sprinklers from Catch Masala, and they do help add a zesty taste to the dish.
Along with this, the product range comprises of pure spices, whole spices, blended spices, grinders, and cooking paste. Catch spices help add a rich aroma, flavor and freshness to the meal.

MDH Masala
One of the most talked-about spice brands in Indian households, MDH Masala has been the master of spices. The brand needs no description and is known worldwide. Recently, MDH Masala was trending all over the internet, due to the sad demise of the brand’s owner ‘Mahashay’ Dharam Gulati.
MDH Masala product portfolio includes ground spices, blended spices, kesar, havan samagri and dant manjan. Majority of us would have used spices of MDH Masala once in their lifetime at least. The brand, since years, has been maintaining the quality standards up to the mark efficiently.

Everest Masala
Everest Masala, a renowned spice brand of India, has marked its presence for the last 52 years and possesses a wide range of variety of spices. The exotic range of Everest spices gives an authentic flavor and rich aroma to all Indian dishes.
Everest Masala since years has been a must-must in households of India for spicing and pepping up the meals. I have been using Everest garam masala for a longer period now and the spiciness it tends to add to the dish is lip-smacking. Everest masala offers spice mixes for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, a moment of sheer happiness for all non-veg lovers out there!

Tata Sampann
Tata Sampann, one of the brands of Tata Products, delivers pure and authentic spices. They have a wide array of exotic spices available. I have read somewhere that the masalas recipes of Tata Sampann are crafted, by the well-known chef Sanjeev Kapoor. What I like the most about Tata Sampann spices is they come in a sachet packing of five. The thick packaging helps keep the freshness of spices intact.

Badshah Masala
From last few years, Badshah masala has managed to make a place for itself in the Indian Spice Industry. Badshah Masala provides Indian households with different range of products like- blended spices, ground spices, hing and kesar milk masala.
Badshah masala’s blended spices are used widely because of the authentic flavor and unique fragrance it instills in the dish. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, spice mixes for both are available. I would personally recommend you to try out the panipuri masala. It is a must-try as it gives tangy flavor to the food, which thrills your taste buds.
