Experience the Authentic Flavors of India with the Spicewalla Indian Masala Spice Collection 3-Pack

timbo: Really have enjoyed this. Admittedly, I bought it on a bit of a whim. But I have been very pleased. The spices are contained in plastic bags within the metal containers, and I would imagine this helps keep them fresh. I opened each and took a smell, and the aromas were delightful. I have used each for different dishes -Tandoori chicken and different curries, and I can honestly say the flavors are excellent. I like dishes a bit spicy, so I have added some hot chile powder, but these spice mixes give you the basis for some great flavors.

Susan: The only thing about this item which made me give it four rather than five stars is the packaging. I would prefer a regular screw top jar rather than a tin. The spices are packed into cellophane type plastic bags and it is awkward to open up and put them back into the metal canisters. I assume that this is to keep products consistent and fresh however I simply poured my spices directly into the tin from the plastic bag insert. The spices themselves are 5/5 stars. Great buy!

as: Main review: Just what I was looking for. Fragrant, tasty and perfect quantity.
Addendum: As a child, I remember going to the market to this lady's shop where she would blend and grind her own spices. A recent discussion on that with my parents made me realize that the current spices that I use lack some taste (maybe I kept them too long). Store bought spices are not necessarily bad but you have to find the good ones and stick with them. Given the choice now a days, it is very difficult to identify the best ones unless someone recommends a product. You don't need a lot of the spice so I was looking for a solution for freshly ground spice in a quantity that can be re-ordered. Spicewalla fits all these criteria. Filling the tin cans with the spices made our kitchen smell good. I just cooked some marinated chicken with tandoori masala and some potatoes with garam masala and you can smell and taste the difference. I hope they can add some more combinations (e.g. meat masala) in the future and continue the business with the same philosophy that they started with.

Update: I see that some buyers have talked about it being not hot enough and I agree. Usually, we add more than...

Amazon Customer: OMG....I couldn't be more amazed at these blends. I was able to replicate a chicken masala recipe from a favorite local restaurant based strictly on scent! Yeah... the aroma floats right out of these beautiful tins. I opened each tin and decided to try a tablespoon of the Tandoori masala mixed with 1 tsp of garam masala. I warmed up the spices in oil and hung out a bit deleriously over these fragrant fresh spices. I haven't ever cooked any fresh Indian dishes (just prepared jars) so I added a can of coconut milk (had no idea if I'd be ok with result) and added extra paprika for color. What's the Indian word for Voila? Anyway, the "instant" sauce was an almost perfect heavenly "restaurant quality" gravy to pour over basmati and braised chicken. I had fully expected to have some disappointments while trying to duplicate a favorite restaurant recipe. Instead, I'm crazy happy. I did "brighten" the sauce with maybe 3 oz of chopped canned tomatoes/ juice and salted to taste. But Wow ... EASY, FRESH, FAST and amazingly delicious. I feel kind of bad my favorite local restaurant is gonna see a lot less of me. FWIW: Historically I'm not much of a cook but Spicewalla made me feel like a chef...
