Definition

Masala Sweet is a mild, aromatic spice blend from Mauritius, rooted in traditional Indian family recipes. Hand-selected spices are often stone-ground, yielding a rounded, friendly profile suitable for everyday cooking.

Origin & Context

Mauritian masalas reflect Indian culinary heritage shaped by island influences. Many households use recipes where turmeric, coriander and cumin make up roughly half of the blend, with remaining components adjusted for sweetness and gentle warmth.

Composition (Full Ingredient List)

Turmeric, Licorice root, MUSTARD seeds, Coriander, Sugar, Dill leaves, Ginger, Salt, Fenugreek, Basil, Cumin, CELERY leaves, Chili, Garlic powder.

Allergen Information

Contains MUSTARD and CELERY.

Flavor Profile

Mild heat with a sweet-aromatic tilt: turmeric and coriander form the base; cumin and fenugreek add nutty-earthy depth; ginger and chili provide gentle warmth; licorice root and dill contribute soft sweetness and herbal lift; basil and celery leaves bring green notes.

Culinary Uses

  • Chicken, fish and pork in mild curries or marinades
  • Vegetable dishes (potatoes, pumpkin, cauliflower, beans)
  • Soups, rice dishes and light coconut- or yogurt-based sauces
  • Season roasted vegetables or lentil stews for subtle sweetness

Dosage & Tips

Start with 1–2 teaspoons for 4 servings. Bloom briefly in a little oil or ghee to release aroma, then add liquids. The blend contains salt and sugar—adjust additional seasoning accordingly.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from light. Use within 12 months for best aroma.

Comparison

Compared with hot Goan or robust Mauritian pimento masalas, Masala Sweet is gentler, leaning into sweet-spice notes (licorice, basil, dill) and lower chili heat.

FAQ

Is Masala Sweet very hot?
No—heat is mild to moderate, balanced by sweet-aromatic components.

Can it replace curry powder?
Often yes, especially when a gentler, sweeter profile is desired.

When should it be added?
Bloom early in fat for depth; a small pinch at the end refreshes aroma without adding much heat.
