Masala Mama
Founded on the deep and meaningful act of gathering around the table as a family, Masala Mama creates products that brings people together. Growing up in Kolkata, India, founder Nidhi Jalan, was always passionate about food, going to farmer’s markets, trying out unusual vegetables, and sampling different regional cuisines. After moving to the U.S., she missed the nuance of homemade Indian food, so every time she went back to India she'd return with recipes for her favorite dishes. One day at a dinner party, the host mentioned that she would make Indian food more often if only it wasn’t so time-consuming—that was Nidhi’s “Aha!” moment. In 2013, she launched Masala Mama, and her spices and sauces continue to help take the pressure off recreating Indian dishes at home.
