The business was started to help raise funds for small farmers in India and Mexico and buy from farmers in the Midwest and FL. Ancient Indian Spice Mixes are organic, authentic dry spices from ancient South Indian recipes - made in Minnesota. We are dedicated to sustainable farm practices and healthy, quality products. Buy online, pick-up in at local farmers' markets and food festivals. Check our
page for updates. I'm Deborah. My husband, Rob, was born in southern India. We have always made our own spice mixes and our son, Anil, who is also from southern India, has been helping us pan toast our spices since he was about 10. We started out helping nonprofits in our community by providing catered Indian dinners, cooking lessons, and our spice mixes for their fundraisers. When demand grew we knew we needed to help Midwesterners and others who had discovered Indian cuisine and wanted to learn the fine art of Indian cooking. Recently we expanded part of our work to south Florida in order to work directly with small farmers that grow some tropical spices like ginger and turmeric. Now we can buy fresh spices from small farmers in the US and still support farmers in India. Everyone benefits! Culinary Magic! We've taken the intimidating, complicated spice roasting, grinding and mixing out of popular recipes and made them for you. All you need to do is add them to delicious recipes like tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, curries, biriyanis, Indian street snacks, chai, golden milk, and more. Our newsletter has yummy new recipes each month that are specially adapted for our spice mixes.
