Smita's Spices

Smita believes that spices are a way to create harmony in your food. She formulated universal Meat and Veggie blends for everyday cooking. Her goal was to simplify the process of using numerous spices at a time and also to flavor the food in a right way. These blends are made fresh every month, are concentrated and contain no fillers or artificial ingredients. In addition to most meats and veggies, these blends can also be used for soups, lentils, rubs or as marinades.

Phirni with touch of gold

There is no a.k.a to this sweet one! I hesitantly translate the Phirni into “ Rice Pudding “ and often reluctantly to do so. It’s like calling Rolls Royce just a car or

Hyderabadi Kurma

"Kurma" like most Hyderabadis call it is a traditional way to make "Korma" but with slight variations and techniques.

Janice Schlau, Pastry Chef, Artist

Think exotic Indian...

Chef Jeff Cooke, @ThisLittlePigeats, Buffalo, NY

"Super-fun collaboration with Smita's spice. Made Smoked Lamb Pizza with Smita’s Meat Seasoning (think exotic Indian...not so much a standard “curry” spice but a way more nuanced blend with deep rich & bitter notes and layers of sweet spice flavors, as well!) with heirloom tomato, pickled onion, goat cheese, mozzarella & cilantro, spicy tomato"

Fun Online Class!

Thuy Dan T.,San Gabriel, CA

This was a really fun virtual event – my first cooking one! Smita picked the perfect recipe for us to follow along with and going with quarantine, had great ingredients of things most common in our cupboards right now and having a lot of suggestions for substitutions for everyone's needs. I had a lot of fun following along while I was cooking and the food was amazing!

Great online session!

Nikki G., Buffalo, NY

This was a great session. I never thought I would be able to cook Indian food. Low and behold, I can! The end result of Indian flatbread and curry was delicious, and you use ingredients everyone usually has on hand, and it isn't difficult. I liked that Smita learned how to cook from her grandmothers. I also love how Smita started doing cooking socials to meet friends!

Loved her flair for cooking...

Stacie B., Indianapolis, IN

The end result food was delicious and definitely something we would try again! I loved her flair for food and desire to encourage people along in their skills. It was obvious she knew how to cook and had the 'feel' of cooking in her bones! I liked the variety she encouraged and he the recipe could be adapted based on multiple things one might have in the kitchen.
