Uncommon: mostly from the maker or specialty shops How we score

Rarity is our editors’ score for how hard something is to find in the US and how unusual it is to make: availability (supermarket, specialty shop or maker only), production (small-batch, seasonal, foraged) and how unusual the ingredient or method is.

  1. 1 Familiar twist: easy to find, unusual flavour
  2. 2 Specialty: good grocers and online
  3. 3 Uncommon: mostly from the maker or specialty shops
  4. 4 Rare: small-batch, regional or few stockists
  5. 5 Very rare: tiny batches, foraged or one of a kind

What it tastes like

Built to season potato and sabudana dishes; the listing does not name individual spices, so expect a warm, savoury fasting masala.

Why it’s rare

A ready spice blend made specifically for vrat cooking, a category most kitchens still mix by hand each Navratri.
