Goan Masala

Developed in collaboration with celebrated chef Floyd Cardoz and his wife Barkha, Goan Masala reflects the kind of cooking Floyd grew up with — unfussy, thoughtful and deeply satisfying. In Goa, nearly every family has a go-to spice blend for daily meals, and this earthy, full-bodied masala was Floyd’s.

Turmeric, cumin and ginger form a warm, grounding base, while black pepper and cloves add gentle spice and cinnamon brings soft sweetness. The flavor is balanced and mild. It’s the kind of masala that pulls a dish together and makes simple food feel complete.

Use Goan Masala to season vegetables, seafood or protein for quick sautés, light curries or weeknight stews.

With every jar sold, $1 is donated to charitable causes.

For the full Cardoz Legacy experience, pair this blend with With Love & Masalas, the debut cookbook by Barkha Cardoz. Filled with approachable Indian recipes drawn from the Cardoz family kitchen, the book shows how to put all 6 of the Cardoz Legacy masalas to work in everyday meals. Thoughtful guidance and flexible menus make it a welcoming companion for cooks of all levels.
