Testimonials
-
I didn’t expect this much difference, but the aroma itself took me back to how food used to smell at home. The sambar felt fuller and more balanced without needing too much masala.

What stood out to me is how clean the flavour feels. It’s not overpowering or artificial just consistent and well-rounded every time I cook. You can tell the processing is different.
Arjun Menon

I was curious about the cryogenic grinding, and you can actually notice it while cooking. The aroma builds slowly instead of hitting all at once, and the flavour feels much more natural compared to regular masalas.
Sanjay Iyer

At first I thought it’s just another masala, but while cooking, the smell stayed consistent instead of fading halfway. The final dish had a cleaner taste, not that slightly harsh note I usually get. Something is definitely different here.

The Ingredients Behind the Flavour
Most blends use the same spices. The difference is in which ones are chosen, and how much of their flavour actually survives the grinding process.
Fenugreek (Methi)
Turmeric
Asafoetida (Hing)
Coriander
Cryogenic Technology
Ground at −196°C
Ground at −196°C in liquid nitrogen. Cryogenic grinding preserves volatile oils and flavour that conventional grinding destroys.
Your food tastes noticeably more intense
Cryogenic grinding preserves 3x more volatile oils - the compounds that carry taste and aroma - compared to conventional heat grinding.
Your pack lasts twice as long
Because flavour concentration is so high, you use half the amount per dish - so 400g lasts as long as 800g of a conventional brand.
Zero flavour lost in the grinding process
At liquid nitrogen temperatures there is no heat, no oxidation, no evaporation. Every volatile oil is locked in at its most potent moment.
Pure spice - nothing diluting it
No anti-caking agents, artificial colours or preservatives. Every ingredient in the pack is a spice. FSSAI verified and lab tested every batch.

FAQs
What is menthiya hittu and how is it used in cooking?
Menthiya hittu is a traditional Karnataka spice blend made using fenugreek (methi) along with other spices. It is typically added to curries or mixed with rice to enhance flavour and add depth to everyday meals.
How is menthiya hittu different from using plain fenugreek powder?

Can menthiya hittu be added directly to rice?
Yes, it is often mixed with hot rice along with ghee or oil. This is a common way to use spice blends in Karnataka, especially for quick, flavourful meals without preparing a full curry.
Is fenugreek (methi) commonly used in everyday cooking?
Yes, fenugreek is widely used in Indian cooking in different forms, including seeds, leaves, and powders. It’s typically used in small quantities as part of regular meals rather than as a primary ingredient.
What dishes pair well with menthiya hittu?
