Our first brand

SDO Spices: premium spices and herbs

Big flavour. New beginnings.

An emerging spices brand inspired by the flavours and everyday kitchens of India. Six familiar spices, one simple look.

Spice notes

Six spices, in a few words.

Familiar names from Indian kitchens, and a short note on what each one brings to the pan.

Turmeric

हल्दी

Ground from the dried rhizome of a plant in the ginger family. It gives dals, curries and rice their familiar golden colour and a warm, gently bitter, earthy flavour.

Usually added early, so it can cook gently in the oil.

Red Chilli

लाल मिर्च

Made from dried, ground red chillies. Varieties differ widely: some are prized mostly for their colour, others for their heat.

Coriander

धनिया

The dried seed of the same plant whose leaves are used fresh. Ground, it is mild and citrusy, and it sits at the base of many spice blends.

Cumin

जीरा

Small, ridged seeds with a warm, earthy aroma that deepens when they are toasted or crackled in hot oil, the first step of many a tadka.

Black Pepper

काली मिर्च

The dried berry of a flowering vine native to the Western Ghats. It brings a sharp, pungent heat and is used both whole and freshly ground.

Garam Masala

गरम मसाला

A blend rather than a single spice. Its mix, often including cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and pepper, changes from region to region and from one household to the next.

Fruit notes

Six fruits, in a few words.

Familiar fruits from Indian homes and markets, and a short note on each one.

Apples

सेब

Grown on trees in cooler climates, in hundreds of varieties that run from sweet to tart and from crisp to soft.

Stored cool, a good apple stays crisp for weeks.

Pears

नाशपाती

Unlike most fruit, pears ripen best off the tree. They are picked mature but firm, then soften at room temperature over a few days.

Plums

आलूबुखारा

Smooth-skinned stone fruit, often dusted with a pale natural bloom that rubs off when handled. Some varieties are dried into prunes.

Peaches

आड़ू

Soft, fragrant stone fruit with a fine fuzz on the skin. They bruise easily, which is why they travel in single layers on cushioned trays.

Cherries

चेरी

Small stone fruit picked with the stem on. Cherries do not keep ripening after harvest, so they are picked ripe and kept cold.

Apricots

खुबानी

Small, golden stone fruit with a velvety skin, eaten fresh or dried. Dried, they are the base of khubani ka meetha, a Hyderabadi dessert.

Good things are just getting started.
