Thirteen spices, roasted and stone-milled
The blend the shop was built on, unchanged since 1968: thirteen whole spices roasted separately on an iron tawa because cardamom and coriander will never be ready at the same minute, then cooled and milled together on the stone chakki.
It is a finishing masala, not a base - half a teaspoon into the dal at the end, or into a shaak once the tomatoes have gone down. Every jar is stamped with the day it was milled.

The colour holds when it goes into hot oil and nobody at home starts coughing, which is how you know there is nothing but Byadgi and Teja in the packet. The milling date on the pouch is always within the week.
My mother has been sending me this jar every June since I moved. It reached Pune in four days, sealed properly with the oil still covering the pieces, and it tastes exactly like her terrace in Rajkot.
The rotli stays soft for hours and the flour smells like actual wheat. Only thing to know is that they mill after you order, so allow a day extra - worth it, but do not order on the morning you have run out.
Took the 5 L tin on the monthly subscription and paid Cash on Delivery without any trouble. It smells of roasted groundnut, goes cloudy in winter like my grandmother said it should, and one tin lasts us five weeks.
