What are HKC Masalas?

HKC Masalas are perfectly balanced, aromatic spice blends that tantalize the senses with their rich and harmonious flavours. We have created HKC Masalas as universal spice blends so that you don’t have to maintain different types of spices/masalas in the kitchen pantry.

HKC Masalas are intricate blends of various spices and herbs, carefully combined in specific proportions to create flavourful mixture that can be used to make any kind of cuisine/dish. The utmost attention is devoted at Healthy Kitchen Co. to curate these masalas, beginning with ingredient selection, and culminating in the delicate process of dry roasting to grinding.

From curries and gravies to stews, sautéed dishes, and marinated delights, our HKC Masalas effortlessly enhance the taste and appeal of diverse culinary creations.

How do I store HKC Spice Blends?

HKC Spices blends will last the longest when stored away from air, light, heat, and moisture. A cool, dry, and dark environment like a pantry or cupboard positioned away from the stove or oven is a great spot to house your spice collection. Minimizing their exposure to air, heat, light, and moisture is key to maximizing the shelf life of your HKC Spice Blends.

You can keep your spices dry by using a dry spoon to get them out of the container before adding them to steaming hot food rather than sprinkling them straight from their containers.

Is your packaging ecofriendly?

At Healthy Kitchen Co. we believe in sustainable packaging. Therefore, our spice blends are available in glass jars and recyclable pouches that are eco-friendly. The jars are reusable and lock in the freshness of spices. Glass containers are among the best options to store spice blends. For pouches, we recommend emptying them into glass jars to retain their flavour & freshness.

Is the shelf life only 6 months?

At Healthy Kitchen Co. we make spice blends fresh in small batches to retain the potency and flavour of our Sprinkles and Masalas. These spice blends are fresh and flavourful up to 6 months from the date of manufacturing. Generally, spices that are past their prime aren’t dangerous to consume, but they will lose their aroma and flavour potency.

What is your most popular Sprinkle?

Our most popular sprinkle, with kids and adults alike, is the HKC Peanut Sprinkle. It is popular for the combination of crunchiness/tanginess/sweetness. Mix this with plain yogurt for a yummy yogurt dip, use this as a salad dressing, sprinkle this on boiled broccoli/vegetables to make then tasty. If you invent a new usage, please let us know immediately!

What is your most popular Masala?

Our HKC Curry Masala and HKC Magic Masala are equally popular. You don't need to spend hours in the kitchen measuring and mixing different spices, as our HKC Masalas are already perfectly balanced and ready to use. Simply Add them to your favourite recipes and enjoy the delicious and authentic flavours that our blends provide.

What is the spice level?

At Healthy Kitchen Co., our spice blends are crafted at a medium spice level, striking the perfect balance that suits a variety of palates. If you desire more heat, you can easily enhance the spice by adding extra chili powder or paprika according to your preference.

What products are popular with kids?

HKC Peanut Sprinkle and HKC Chickpea Sprinkle are popular with kids.

Kids absolutely adore our Peanut Sprinkle yogurt dip - it's a delightful treat! They also enjoy spreading peanut sprinkle with butter or ghee on flatbreads or rotis to create yummy rolls. For a quick and tasty meal, they love mixing peanut sprinkle with ghee and hot steamed rice!

FAQs for Tea blends

Why is each pack 30 grams?

Each pack contains between 30 and 35 grams of our premium tea blends. While we specify 30 grams as the standard weight, you may sometimes find a little more. With just 2 grams of tea blend, you can brew a 150 ml cup of tea, which means every pack provides you with minimum of 15 cups of delicious tea. Our individual Tea jars are available in 60 gm size if you want to buy a separate blend.

The Serenity Collection includes five different blends, so you can explore and enjoy all the flavors, then choose your favorites to purchase in larger quantities.

Why do you sell loose tea leaves instead of tea bags?

We prioritize purity and quality. Many commercial tea bags use tea dust or crushed leaves, which are often low in quality and can contain contaminants. By offering loose tea leaves, we provide you with the natural and authentic experience of brewing tea with whole leaves, preserving the flavor, aroma, and health benefits.

Loose tea also offers flexibility—you can brew as much or as little as you like, whether it’s a single cup or a large teapot for sharing with friends.

To make brewing easier, we include a complimentary stainless steel tea kettle-shaped infuser or disposable tea bags with every collection.

What is the tea kettle-shaped infuser?


The tea kettle-shaped infuser is a 100% stainless steel accessory designed to hold up to 5 grams of tea leaves. It’s perfect for brewing teas with larger leaves or blends with chunky ingredients.

Note: If your tea blend contains smaller particles or fine ingredients, you may notice some seepage through the infuser’s pores. In such cases, we recommend using the complimentary disposable tea bags for a smooth brewing experience.

Are all the tea blends pure and natural?

Yes, all our tea blends are made from high-quality, fresh, and natural ingredients. We do not use any preservatives or additives. Our teas are sourced directly from trusted farms and carefully blended with exotic herbs and spices to ensure you receive the best in taste and health benefits.

Are your teas organic?

No. While our teas are not certified organic, they are 100% natural, made with premium ingredients, and free from preservatives or additives.

Do your blends have caffeine-free options?

Other blends, like our green teas, contain minimal caffeine. However, Masala Chai has higher caffeine content.

How do I store the teas to maintain freshness?

All of our teas are packaged in BPA-free, food-grade PET jars. To maintain freshness, ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use and store the jars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
