ADARSH SAKHI Kala Masala is a rich and aromatic traditional spice blend carefully prepared by the Mauli Mahila Swayam Sahayta Samuh, a dedicated women self-help group from Dharashiv district in Maharashtra. Produced under the Adarsh Sakhi Mahila Gruhudhyog initiative, this spice blend reflects the authentic taste of Maharashtrian kitchens where spices are traditionally cleaned, roasted, and ground with care.

The spices used in this Kala Masala are selected with attention to quality and then thoroughly cleaned before processing. They are roasted slowly to bring out their natural oils, deep colour, and intense aroma. After roasting, the spices are finely powdered to create a perfectly balanced masala that enhances the flavour of many traditional dishes. Each batch is prepared by rural women artisans using home-style methods to maintain authenticity and freshness.
