The story of moji masala is quite heartwarming and inspiring. John David “JD” Walsh and his wife and co-founder, Shireen, residents of Chestnut Hill, created moji masala because people raved about their home-cooked Indian meals from family recipes. They often found themselves with a surplus of unused spices and seasonings cluttering their pantry shelves. An ‘a-ha’ moment came on: Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have precisely the right quantity of spices necessary to cook a meal without having to store the remaining spices?

This idea sparked the creation of moji masala, a line of carefully crafted spice blends that allow people to enjoy the authentic taste of Indian cuisine without the hassle of keeping a wide range of individual spices on hand. moji masala, which in Kashmiri means “Mom’s spice blend,” was born to provide the foundation for quick, authentic, intensely satisfying Indian meals without the hassle of spice shopping.

“At the heart of our mission is a commitment to sharing the rich and diverse flavors of South Asian cuisine with people worldwide,” said JD and Shireen. “We believe everyone should have access to the authentic tastes and aromas of traditional Indian dishes, made with the same care and attention to detail as a loving mother would put into her cooking. That’s why we’ve created a unique range of spice blends, each carefully crafted to capture the essence of a different region or cooking style.”
