What's In Our Recipe Starters?

Simple Yet Detailed Recipes

What would a Recipe Starter be without, well, a recipe? Our's go beyond basic instructions printed on our package. Instead, they're included inside; a full page of detailed, precise and informative instructions, so you can be confident in your cooking.

Lots of Options

Vegetarian? Vegan? Also got a meat-eater in the house? Is plant-based protein your jam? We hear you and we've got you covered. We have a wide selection of vegetable-focused, plant-based, and meat and poultry Recipe Starters in the works.

Currently, we offer two Lentil and Bean Starters, one Vegetable Starter and one Poultry Starter. We're busy testing more recipes so stay tuned for more!

Fresh whole and ground spices

We source the highest quality fresh whole spices, roast and grind them, and package them in pre-measured quantities customized to each recipe. Think whole cumin, cloves, cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods, freshly roasted and ground coriander.

Secret Spice Blends (shhh!)

These are the spice combinations we've used in our own kitchen for years. They are tried and true and certain to give you stellar results. Think of them as your own secret sauce.

Lentils and Beans

Brilliant orange split red lentils, plump garbanzo beans, wholesome black eyed peas are included in our Lentil and Bean Recipe Starters.

Long Grain Indian Basmati Rice

Where indicated, our Recipe Starters include traditional Basmati rice. It pairs perfectly with our dishes, and gives you one less thing to shop for. Prefer cauliflower or brown rice? Our recipes work well with those too.

What's Not in Our Recipe Starters?

Anything Processed

Because who wants that when its this easy to make fresh, whole food-based dishes at home?

Preservatives

Everything in our Starters is shelf stable. We do not use preservatives.

Simmer Sauces

Because they can't match the flavor of freshly made.

Anything Pre-Cooked

Because nothing beats freshly cooked food.

Perishable Ingredients and Pantry Staples

We believe fresh and local is best so we don't ship perishable ingredients. Look at the back of the package or online product page to find the list of ingredients you'll need at home. This typically includes cooking oil or ghee, fresh ginger, garlic and cilantro in addition to fresh vegetables or meat, depending on your selection.

  • Fresh From Scratch

    Nothing beats a meal freshly cooked from scratch. There are no simmer sauces, pre-cooked, processed or premade ingredients in our kitchen. Just add your own fresh ingredients- local, organic, fresh or frozen vegetables? Choose what's right for you. Our Recipe Starters work with you, your preferences, lifestyle, and budget.

  • Authentic

    Cook Indian food the way it was meant to be, using traditional techniques updated for today. At Whole Spice Kitchen, we believe the essence of Indian cooking lies in the careful layering of flavors that comes from gently heating spices in ghee or oil to release their essence, then adding the right mix of fresh ingredients at the right time to deliver a deeply satisfying experience.
