Goan Vindaloo Masala

Goan Vindaloo Masala is a bold and fiery blend that brings the spirit of Goa straight to your kitchen. It’s a classic spice mix rooted in Indo-Portuguese tradition—famous for powering the iconic Pork Vindaloo, but versatile enough to work with just about anything.

Whether you’re marinating meat, tossing mushrooms, or simmering a hearty curry, this masala packs a punch. Expect heat, depth, and a zesty tang that wakes up your taste buds. It’s the kind of flavour that makes you stop mid-bite and smile.

What Does It Taste Like?

This masala is spicy, warm, and deeply aromatic. Chilli powder brings serious heat, balanced by the earthiness of cumin and the brightness of turmeric. Black pepper adds a sharp edge, while mustard seeds offer tang and texture. A touch of cinnamon rounds it all out with gentle sweetness and warmth.

It’s bold—but never overwhelming. Just enough fire, with a good amount of flair.
