No colour, no chalk, no bran
Our red comes from chilli. Our yellow comes from turmeric. We do not brighten powders with dye or bulk them with husk.
Our Story
A neighbourhood spice house, built on trust.
Masala Factory began in the year 2000 in Biratnagar with a simple promise: spices that smell like they should, look like they should, and never hide behind colour or cheap filler.
We source carefully, clean thoroughly, and grind in small batches so every packet of chilli, turmeric, coriander or cumin reaches your kitchen fresh. Families in Biratnagar know us for the staples they cook with every day.
From whole spices like alaichi, dalchini and panchforan to ready powders and our house mix masala — what leaves our floor is what we would put on our own plate.
“My grandfather said you cannot hide a bad spice behind a good package. People find out on the first bite.”
How we prepare every packet
-
01
Careful sourcing
We buy whole spices for colour, aroma and dryness — rejecting stock that looks dull or smells flat.
-
02
Cleaning & sorting
Dust, stones and stems are removed before anything is roasted or ground.
-
03
Roast & grind
Seeds are roasted gently when needed, then ground so the essential oils stay in the powder.
-
04
Fresh packing
Powders and blends are sealed promptly and packed from our unit in Biratnagar-13.
