Authentic Indian Spice Packets
Moji Masala makes authentic Indian cooking easy with their spice packets! It is the culinary brainchild of husband and wife team, JD Walsh and Shireen Qadri. While both loved and craved authentic Indian cuisine, neither had time to prepare a traditional home-cooked Kashmiri meal at the end of a busy workday. But, they were determined to recreate their favorite Indian dishes at home and share their love for Kashmiri cuisine and culture with their 5-year-old daughter, Nora.
Their aha! moment came one evening after visiting with Shireen’s parents. Her mother or “moji” had sent her home with a few bags of pre-measured, freshly ground spice blends aka “masalas.” During the car ride back to New York City, they were reminiscing about the evening’s meal when they realized the key to making fabulous and easy Indian dishes was all about these magical masalas. They knew if they could have fresh, pre-measured spice blends on hand, they could prepare authentic Kashmiri food any night of the week, even busy evenings. They also realized that if they could take the guesswork out of Indian cooking by sharing simple authentic recipes alongside pre-measured spices, they could make it easy and approachable for anyone to prepare traditional Indian meals at home.
And just like that, the idea for Moji Masala was born!
