Also known as Coorg Pork Masala, this signature spice blend that has its origins in the Kodava community is absolutely essential for an authentic Pandi (pork) curry.

This is one of those products that we'd buy just for the packaging but we'd also buy it for what Puli Spices aspires to—celebrating India's diversity through its native souring agents and spices.
Kodava Kartha Masale, also known as Coorg Pork Masala or Dark Masala, is a signature spice blend from Kodagu (Coorg) that is characterized by its deep, earthy, smoky flavor. Its hallmark midnight-dark profile comes from dry-roasting spices like coriander, cloves, cinnamon, and peppercorns until they are deeply caramelized and smoky. It cuts right through rich meats and marries perfectly with a splash of sour, syrupy kachampuli.
(Psst! If you're vegetarian, we highly recommend folding it into a slow-simmered jackfruit curry, or tossing it with roasted baby potatoes and a dash of kachampuli!)
