“We know what your mother cooked.— Durga Masala, INA Market, New Delhi
We’ve been grinding it since 1985.”
Tandoori Masala is a specialty North Indian blend formulated for marinating meats, paneer, and vegetables before grilling, baking, or air-frying — where charred aroma, color, and floral lift define quality. Unlike generic “tikka masala,” this is engineered for high-heat exposure, with spices that bloom under flame or oven heat.
It is a marinade-first spice, added to yogurt or oil-based marinades — never cooked alone.
Key characteristics: • Fine, smooth texture — no grit, ideal for even coating • Visible specks of rose petals, coriander, and green cardamom • Heat level: Medium (6 out of 10) — warmth builds, never shocks • Aroma: Floral-earthy — rose and coriander dominate, followed by smoky green cardamom
Best used in: • Chicken Tikka • Paneer Tikka • Soya Tikka • Grilled Vegetables (cauliflower, mushrooms, corn) • Tandoori Fish or Prawns
Pro Tip: Always mix Tandoori Masala into yogurt or oil-based marinade and rest for at least 30 minutes. For best results, refrigerate 2–4 hours. High heat activates the volatile oils — never add post-cooking.
Add at the start to bloom the spices and release their essential oils for maximum depth.
Mix with yogurt, oil, and citrus. Rest minimum 2 hours — overnight for meat.
A pinch added at the end preserves volatile aromatics that high heat destroys.
Cool, dry, away from sunlight. Use within 12 months for full potency.

We grind in small batches and dispatch within 1–2 days of grinding. Unlike supermarket spices that may have been sitting in warehouses for months, what you receive has been freshly processed at our INA Market chakki.
