about us
The Indian Pantry was born from a simple idea — to make real Indian flavours easy to enjoy at home. What started as a small kitchen project has grown into a brand loved for its honest ingredients, bold blends, and handcrafted sauces. Our spice mixes celebrate the regions they come from. Our chai masalas bring comfort and nostalgia in every cup. And our simmering sauces make it effortless to cook rich, flavourful Indian meals any night of the week.
Behind this mission are Tushar, a chef passionate about showcasing India’s diverse cuisine, and Sovic, a marketer dedicated to bringing these flavours to homes across Canada. Together, they combine culinary craft with creative storytelling to share India’s food culture in its most authentic form. From our kitchen to yours — we’re here to make Indian cooking joyful, accessible, and truly delicious.
We are The Indian Pantry
Real Indian Flavour, Made Easy for Busy Canadian Household
Most people love the taste of Indian food… but they don’t want complicated recipes, long cooking times, or a cupboard full of hard-to-pronounce spices. That’s why we created The Indian Pantry.
Our spices and blends are designed specifically for individuals and families who want delicious flavour quickly, using clean, naturally preserved ingredients they can trust.
You don’t need experience. You don’t need 20 ingredients. You just need a few minutes — and a love for good food.
- No Artificial Preservatives

- Authentic Taste Right In Your Home
- Quick & Easy To Make

Born in Birmingham, England, Adam began his culinary journey through an intensive apprenticeship, working across from one of the busiest theatres in the UK. His travels through Asia deepened his knowledge and broadened his approach to flavour, leading him to Australia, where he honed his craft in Melbourne’s vibrant food scene. Eventually, he made his way to Canada, helping open West Oak in Yaletown and taking over as Executive Chef just months later. Today, Adam is a partner and Executive Chef at The Watson and Bartholomew, where he continues to evolve his craft and shape Vancouver’s dining landscape.

Kate cut her teeth in the fast-paced kitchens of Hong Kong, cooking her way through Italian and French restaurants that spanned from white-tablecloth fine dining to casual, produce-driven spots rooted in technique. Most recently, she served as Sous Chef at Bar Corso in Vancouver, where she quietly built a name for herself. This dinner marks her moment in the spotlight, and we’re proud to showcase her talent and unforgettable flavours.
theskriptkitchen, run by chef Renee Chan (daysofrenee), makes gluten-free food production easier (and, arguably, more fun) than ever.
The space will welcome purveyors such as houseofyeefinefoods, ahnuiasianfoods, theindianpantry_ by chef Tushar Tondvalkar (chefttushar) and Galloway’s Wholesome Foods (gallowaysfoods) to use the shared kitchen; it`ll also play host to a series of cooking classes.

EPISODE 3: chefttushar ( restaurant.kavita ) 🍽️
Chef Tushar has garnered over a decade of experience, whether staging at the Michelin-acclaimed Gaggan and Gaa in Bangkok, or locally at The Fish House in Stanley Park, Bauhaus, Blue Water Café, and as head chef at Mumbai Local. More recently, Tushar appeared on hulu’s Chefs vs. Wild, a show where chefs teamed up with survivalists to forage ingredients and create a three-course meal, competing against fellow chefs. Over the past year, you may have tasted Chef Tushar’s cooking at pop-ups across the city, or through his brand theindianpantry_, where he developed simmer sauces and spice mixes. Owning a restaurant has always been his dream, and now Tushar is thrilled to welcome you into his culinary world!
