 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used to purchase different Indian spice blend mixes, and that company went out of business. After seeing a review in Vancouver magazine about these I wanted to try them out. I placed an order, and literally the next DAY I had them delivered to my door by the owner. It was so awesome. I just made the chai today and it was delicious. I can't wait to try the rest! Thanks!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm absolutely obsessed with The Indian Pantry Foods Inc's Goan Vindaloo sauce!  It's become a staple in my kitchen, and I can't get enough of it. The flavors are rich, spicy, and utterly delicious - it's like a party in my mouth! The sauce is perfectly balanced, not too thick or too thin, and packs just the right amount of heat. I've used it to make everything from chicken vindaloo to veggie stir-fries, and they've never disappointed. I've tried other sauces from them, but the Goan Vindaloo is my absolute fave. Would highly recommend giving it a try - your taste buds will thank you! 5 stars, hands down!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been hooked on The Indian Pantry for over 6 months now—their Goan Vindaloo sauce is pure fire (in the best way) and the chai concentrate is my secret weapon for when surprise guests show up. As an Indian home cook, these two have turned "I have 20 minutes" into "dinner is ready and tastes like I slaved for hours." I first grabbed them at a pop-up at UBC, and the quality still blows me away.  Quick, authentic, and no compromise—absolute must-try if you want delicious Indian food without the drama. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My first encounter with Indian Pantry’s Goan Vindaloo masala was during a camping trip this summer, and it left a lasting impression. After that, I also tried their garam masala, and I’ve been a hooked to it ever since. The vindaloo masala isn’t just great with potatoes—I’ve used it with a variety of vegetables, and it always delivers a wonderful flavour. Their spices are fresh and well-balanced. I have heard great reviews about their chai masala and Bengali masala too, although I haven’t tried due to personal dietary preferences. I would truly recommend the Indian Pantry masala for anyone who want to try and enhance their cooking with genuine Indian flavours.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently tried several products from The Indian Pantry Foods Inc in Vancouver, and I’m so impressed! The Goan Vindaloo and Makhani sauces made cooking effortless and tasted authentic. Their spice blends—especially Garam Masala and Malvani Masala—are incredibly aromatic, and the Cutting Chai Masala is perfect for tea lovers. Everything feels fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully made. I even gifted their products to colleagues for the holidays, and everyone was blown away by the flavors! Definitely my go-to for real Indian taste. 5 stars!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Indian Pantry products are amazing. I am a big fan of the brand and have been using them on daily basis from last couple of months. Their Vindaloo sauce is so good, it’s solid, flavourful and has an amazing texture when cooked with Paneer and Tofu. Their other sauces and spices are also great. They are easy to make and tasty. It can be your best Holiday Gift option for your Friend an and Family. Their packaging is beautiful with a small recipe book inside which makes it even more special. I also personally feel that they are fairly priced. Overall it’s a very good product and pocket friendly, I would highly recommend it to anyone willing to explore something new this Holiday season.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re on the hunt for something bold but comforting, their Goan Vindaloo –inspired pasta is a revelation. This inventive mash‑up starts with The Indian Pantry’s Goan Vindaloo Simmering Sauce—a tangy, spicy masterpiece that delivers tomato, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and warming spices in every spoonful. What hits first is a sharp, sour tang tempered with slow‑building heat—vibrant, layered, and utterly addictive

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used this Goan Vindaloo Masala to make prawn curry, and it turned out really good. The masala has a fresh aroma and a well balanced spice level. It gives the curry a very authentic Goan taste without being overpowering. Its easy to use and makes homemade curry taste restaurant style. What I really liked is how easy it is to use just throw in onions and tomatoes, saute them, add the masala, and you are almost done. Overall, the flavors are rich and slightly tangy, which goes perfectly with prawns.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love spicy Indian food, and when it comes to making it quickly and effortlessly, one name always comes to mind: The Indian Pantry Foods. All of their sauces and masalas are excellent, but the Vindaloo Sauce/Masala is truly outstanding. We have purchased Vindaloo, Garam, Bengali, and several other masalas, including Chai Masala, from them many times, and every one has been consistently high in quality. The Vindaloo stands out, but the others are equally impressive and the packages even include simple recipes for quick dishes for convenience. We highly recommend The Indian Pantry Foods Inc.

Pure Malvani Goodness

From the Coast of Malvan

The Malvan coast is a beautiful, peaceful part of southern Maharashtra, known for its fresh seafood, coconut-based curries, and laid-back vibe. Families there have passed down their spice mixes for generations — and this gravy is one of them.

Inspired by long afternoons by the sea and slow-simmered meals cooked by mothers and grandmothers, this sauce is a tribute to tradition. It’s where the heart meets the stove.
