Living in India during the 1970’s, convinced us that Indian cooking deserved a place in the upper echelon of the world’s great cuisines. Our North American friends, who loved the food, seemed intimidated by the oddly named ingredients and reluctant to experiment with the preparation of even the easiest of dishes.

    We started Monsoon Coast with a mission to make traditional Indian spice mixtures or ‘masalas’ simple to use and accessible to the western palate, thus striking a chord with folks who wanted to explore new flavors without overly complex cooking procedures.
    Lately we have been following our taste buds to other parts of the planet, particularly Africa and the Middle East. Come along with us on this culinary adventure, come to the Monsoon Coast.
