Osman's masala, the Durban spice blends

Masala in South Africa usually means Osman's, the Durban spice house behind the Taj Mahal and Extra Special ranges most South African Indian kitchens grew up on. We stock Osman's Durban Masala, their A1 Mix and Garam Masala, and their roasted Madras Masala, and ship them all across Canada from Barrie, Ontario.

One shelf in the wider spice rack

Masala is one part of a bigger South African pantry. The Spices and Seasoning collection covers the braai spices, Aromat, and herbs that fill out the rest of the cupboard.

 Spices & Seasoning

Masala and curry powder, the same cupboard

Masala and curry powder are cooked together more often than not, one for depth and one for the base. Our Curry Powder collection has the Rajah range if you need both for the same pot.

 South African Curry Powder

The other big South African spice name

Where Osman's leads on masala, Robertson's leads on braai and everyday seasoning. The full Robertson range is on its own page if that is what you are after.

Frequently asked questions

What is masala?

Masala is a blend of ground, often roasted spices used as the base of a curry. Osman's is the South African brand behind most of the masala sold here, including their Durban, Madras and Garam Masala blends.
What is the difference between Durban Masala and Garam Masala?

Durban Masala is a hotter, chilli forward blend built for South African style curries, while Garam Masala is a milder, more aromatic mix used across a wider range of Indian and South African cooking.
Can I buy Osman's masala in Canada?

Yes. We stock Osman's Durban Masala, A1 Mix Masala, Garam Masala and roasted Madras Masala in Barrie, Ontario, and ship across Canada.
Is masala the same as curry powder?

Not quite. Curry powder is a milder, pre mixed base seasoning, while masala blends are usually more specific and more intensely spiced. Many South African recipes use both together.
