The Heritage Blend

What is The Heritage Blend? It's ameei's founding family masala — a complex, dark red mix of fourteen spices, including coriander, cumin, dried red chilies, fenugreek, mustard seeds, turmeric, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, star anise, bay leaf, dry ginger, and amchur, roasted and ground in a specific sequence that has stayed unchanged for five generations. Where most of ameei's other products are ready-to-eat snacks, the Heritage Blend is a cooking spice: the same masala used as the base for the family's original recipes, meant to be stirred into oil at the start of a dish rather than eaten from the bag. The order in which the spices are roasted matters as much as the list itself, since roasting sequence changes how the oils release and how the final blend tastes once it hits a hot pan. It's the one product in the range that isn't really a snack at all — it's the backbone every other ameei recipe is built on.
