Cooking Tips

How do I make a cup of masala chai?

Watch the YouTube video featured on this page for our foolproof masala chai recipe.

Try it in your morning cup o’ joe.

Add a heaping spoonful of Chai Masala to your coffee grounds before brewing.

Don’t forget to strain.

While ground, the spices can create a little sediment, so strain for the smoothest cup of masala chai.

Make it your go-to baking blend.

Our Chai Masala does not contain tea, but its mix of warming spices like cinnamon, green cardamom, and ginger make it ideal for spicing up cakes, snickerdoodles, and other baked goods.

Ingredients

Cardamom, Ginger, Fennel, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Cloves

Frequently Asked Questions

black and yellow bee with light blue wings flying

Are these recipes good for beginners?

Yes, our recipes are suited for all kinds of cooks, including total beginners. We have simple, weeknight-friendly recipes to start with, and plenty of more involved ones to grow into as you get more comfortable cooking with spices. Think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure for your skill level.

Can I follow these recipes if I don't usually cook with a lot of spices?

Absolutely. Cooking with spices seems a lot more intimidating than it actually is, and these recipes are designed to show you that. Each one is a low-pressure way to start building intuition around flavor, heat, and aroma — and before long, reaching for a spice blend will feel as natural as reaching for salt.

Are these recipes useful even if I don't cook a lot of South Asian food?

Yes! While our spices are deeply rooted in South Asian culinary traditions, the recipes here span a wide range of cuisines and cooking styles. From spiced roasts to flavor-forward salads to drinks and desserts, there's something for every kind of home cook and every kind of craving.

How long do these recipes take to make?

We have everything from quick 20-minute weeknight meals to slower, more celebratory cooks for when you have the time and the appetite for it. Most of our everyday spice recipes are designed to fit into a real life, not a restaurant kitchen. Filter by time or occasion to find what works for you right now.

Do these recipes tell me which spices to use and how?

Every recipe includes the specific spices you need and exactly how to use them, whether that's toasting, tempering, blooming, or simply stirring in at the end. It's a great way to learn spice cooking techniques naturally, without having to study up separately. You cook the recipe, and the knowledge just kind of sticks.
