About this product

Coriander, cumin, black cardamom, cinnamon, clove, pepper and seven more, each roasted on its own because they burn at different temperatures, then ground on stone. The group’s rule is that a packet is only ground once someone has asked for it, which is why this smells the way masala smells in its first week.

Looking after it

Whole spices keep their oils far longer than ground. If you buy one jar at a time, buy this one smaller and more often.

Standards

What we check before a product is listed

Four things we do not compromise on, because a handmade product is judged on all of them.

No preservatives in food
Pickles are cured with oil and salt, not vinegar and stabilisers. Bakery is dispatched within a week of baking.
Azo-free dyes in textiles
Reactive and natural dyes only, printed and dried in shade so the colour bonds to the fibre instead of sitting on it.
Cure times are respected
Six weeks for cold-process soap, four weeks for pickle, three weeks for lemon. Shortening these is how a handmade product is made to look handmade.
Batch-tested where it matters
Honey, ghee and spices are tested for adulteration before packing, and the report is available on request.

Ask about this product

How is this different from a supermarket garam masala?

Two things: the grinding date is on the pack, and there is no starch or rice flour in it. Most of the volume in a cheap blend is filler.

Who actually makes these products?

Women-led Self Help Groups registered under NRLM, working from their own villages. Every product page names the group, the village and the district it came from, and you can read the full group story on its own page.

How is a Saahvi price worked out?

The group quotes a price that covers its material cost and the wage it wants to pay. We add packing, courier and our commission on top and show the split. Groups can change their quote at any time, and we do not negotiate it downwards.

How long will my order take?

Most food and personal care items are dispatched within 48 hours and delivered in 4–7 days. Large textile items such as quilts are stitched to order and take 7–10 days. The product page shows the estimate for the item you are looking at.

“I bought the mango pickle expecting the usual jar. It is properly hot and the oil cap is real mustard oil. I have ordered it three times now and sent the honey to my mother.”
