Best of Down South — 3 South Indian Masalas, No Fillers

Three masalas. The full South Indian table.

Chettinad + Ghee Roast + Sambar. Tamil Nadu, Mangalore, and back. No fillers, no preservatives.

South Indian cooking isn't one cuisine — it's a region of cuisines. Best of Down South gives you three of the most distinct: Chettinad's peppery Tamil Nadu boldness, Mangalore's chilli-forward ghee roast, and the Tamil household sambar that ties everything together.

Chettinad Masala for spicy chicken Chettinad and meat curries — kalpasi-rich and layered. Ghee Roast Masala for the smoky Mangalorean preparation — chilli-and-garlic forward. Sambar Masala for the everyday comfort of sambar rice or sambar with idli/dosa.

Three different uses, three different occasions. A weeknight dal, a weekend curry, a Sunday brunch — covered.

Nothing else hides in any of these bags — no fillers, no preservatives, no artificial colour, no MSG, no "and other spices." The ingredient panels on the back are the whole list.

Common questions

How is this different from buying each separately?
You get all three at a combo price. Same hand-blended quality, same packs — the saving comes from buying together.

Is this a good gift?
Yes. It's a complete South Indian starter kit — well-suited for newlyweds, foodies, or anyone curious about regional South Indian cooking. For gift-ready packaging see our Delicious Dakshin Gift Box.

What if I already have one of these?
The individual SKUs (linked above) will be cheaper if you only need 1–2.

Are these spicy?
All three are 5/5 — South Indian cuisine doesn't apologise for chilli. Cool with rice, dahi, or coconut chutney.

How long do these stay fresh?
Best within 6 months of opening each pack. Sambar's slightly shorter (~5 months) due to the dals.

Bulk / restaurant orders?
Yes — HORECA buyers get 5–20% volume discounts (Net 30 with credit approval). White-label partners get 10–40% discounts at 15kg MOQ. Email care@spicedright.co.
