Powdered spices industry in India has existed for more than a century and has grown to INR 60,000 crores today. However all players produce only recipe-based mixes. Infact all companies produce the same mixes, with slightly varying compositions. Most mix recipes include components like Onion, Garlic, Ginger, Rice flour, Gram Flour along with spices claiming to replicate traditional food flavours. We have today migrated to various brands of premix dry powders containing an agglomeration of dehydrated components along with dry spice powders - that were never a traditional practise …and even labelled them traditional recipes. Consumer has no choice of pure spice blends – it’s either the premix or make at home!
