Kolhapur & Sangli
A regional legacy, made for your kitchen
In the heart of Western Maharashtra — especially Kolhapur and Sangli — flavor is not mild. It is bold, aromatic, and unforgettable.
Premium Kolhapuri Kanda Lasun Masala follows the household tradition of preparing and storing an all-season spice blend during summer, ready to bring rich flavor to meals across the seasons. This is not a quick-mix spice. It is a carefully layered composition built for depth and intensity.
It is versatile and uncompromising:
- Ideal for vegetarian and non-vegetarian curries
- Perfect for snacks and traditional Maharashtrian dishes
- Enhances gravies with deep roasted notes
- An all-season kitchen staple; store as directed and use within the pack’s best-before period
This masala represents the fearless culinary identity of Kolhapur — strong, rich, and unapologetically flavorful.
Marathi Zest™ brings this regional legacy to your kitchen in its most authentic and premium form.
Inside the blend
Crushed for a rustic finish
In Western Maharashtra, especially around Kolhapur and Sangli, food is known for a bold, aromatic character. Kanda Lasun Masala grew from the practical traditions of rural farm kitchens, where families prepared a carefully layered spice blend during summer and stored it for the year ahead.
Onion and garlic form the heart of this masala. Red chilli adds warmth and colour, while the supporting spices give it a layered aroma. Its crushed texture brings character to both dry vegetables and rich gravies.
