This varies with each spice mix, though we always say you should pay close attention to the main ingredient used. For things like our Butter Chicken spice mix, we say use one kilogram of chicken, so you know it'll be a fairly large amount of Butter Chicken! It is also worth noting that vegetarian mixes make so much that we actually recommend only using a quarter of the bag in one making of it, as stated on the back of the packages. We are proud to say we are one of the few companies who offer 80-100g packaging of all natural product so that you can truly make a feast!
Our soup mixes are an exciting product that have absolutely taken off to become some of our best sellers! For those mixes, we say they make about 2 servings each. They're fast, easy and healthy...try some today!
We here at Shah Foods take our craft very seriously. We see too often and too many in the industry take the love out of what they do and simply focus on scale and cost. We make sure we package each bag with our own hands. We filter the spices, go through them with great attention to cleanliness, and we make sure that every little bit of each of our products has passed our personal inspection before we say it is for sale.
Our entire product line is entirely vegan friendly! And yes, that does include our butter chicken, tandoori chicken and so on. In fact, we've had some amazing feed back from vegans saying our butter chicken blend changed their life and helped them capture that amazing, authentic flavor but entirely clean! ( For the records, they've always recommended to use coconut milk, chickpeas, potatoes and broccoli. Give it a shot!)
Every product we have is 100% gluten free!
Spices have always been some of the most sought after goods in the world, and the how long they remain good for is a large reason for that. We recommend using your purchase within a year of purchase ( as long as you keep them sealed in our air tight bags or your own air tight container!) but realistically, they stay good for even longer!.
Every product we have is 100% MSG free!
GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms, have become quite common in most foods on the market. However, we here at Shah Foods strive to give you the most authentic, clean eating experience possible. We are proud to say our products are 100% GMO free.
All of our products are completely nut and dairy free, however there is the off chance that in the process of packaging and harvesting it has come into contact with nuts or dairy.
We're glad you asked! In the Tandoori Chicken and Butter Chicken seasonings, we clearly list 'color' as one of our ingredients because we don't want to hide a thing from you. Most of the coloring actually stems from the use of certain spices we use and how it mixes with your chosen ingredients. The colors are added to give a touch of authenticity and a vibrant glow when cooking. These colors are 100% safe, tested and some of the most widely used food colors on the planet. On top of that, we have done rigorous testing and background checking of our own to provide you with a product we are confident in.
Like we mentioned, most of the coloring actually comes from the natural spices that are inherent in our mix. What isn't is tested, safe and checked. We've made sure to pull all the stops to say these spices are 100% natural, and the colors we use are as well. Our most commonly used color is an Red Beet Powder
While you can very easily and safely keep it in the bags we ship them in ( as long as you seal them after every use ), you're more than free to put it into your own containers as long as they remain air free and keep them as clean as you can. Ideally, the spices should be kept in a cool, dry place.
We are consistently working to bring you new and exciting products while maintaining our focus on quality and authenticity. We're not afraid to say we take our time to bring you the very best spice mixes in the world. While there is no time line for our next product launch, we suggest keeping an eye on our twitter and facebook pages!
