Ontario Pavilion Exhibitors SIAL 2023 3 | Page Arvinda's Indian Spice Blends Name: Preena Chauhan Email: [email protected] Phone Number: 905-569-3652 Website: www.arvindas.com Great Indian cooking begins with great spices. This is Arvinda’s mantra since 1993. In 1993, Arvinda Chauhan began teaching and sharing the art of Indian cooking to home cooks in Oakville, Ontario. She started mixing and selling her family masalas for her cooking class students to try, who continually requested more. The family quickly noted that premium quality, locally made Indian spice blends were absent in the market and due to this demand, Arvinda’s son-anddaughter—Paresh and Preena—began making their family’s beloved spice blends in a small industrial unit for retail and foodservice. Arvinda’s is an Ontario-based maker of premium Indian spice blends, expertly roasted, ground, blend and balanced to perfection. Made with top quality, hand-selected spices (Canadian sourced where available) and combined with Ontario garlic and ginger, Arvinda’s is passionately made according to traditional, time-honoured family recipes. At Arvinda’s, they pay homage to traditional Indian cuisine so home cooks can prepare and enjoy the freshest, boldest, and most authentic Indian dishes at home. Arvinda’s signature masalas take the guesswork out of authentic Indian cooking and is used to prepare Indian favourites such as butter chicken, channa masala, tandoori chicken, mattar paneer chicken, tikka masala and more using their easy-to-follow online recipes. Not only ideal for traditional Indian meals, Arvinda’s can also be used as a rub or seasoning to add succulent Indian flavours to chicken, salmon, fish, meats, potatoes, vegetables, plant-based proteins such as paneer or tofu, soups, BBQ marinades. Making a mind-blowing Indian curry with Arvinda’s is only one tablespoon away!
