Awadhi Buknu Masala

अवधी बुकनू

₹9970 g · MRP incl. of all taxes
⏱ Milled when orderedRoasted and ground in a small lot for your order. At our Noida Unit 01.

Buknu is the masala every Awadhi grandmother kept by the stove: whole spices and rock salt roasted and pounded together into a tangy, peppery sprinkle. It goes on top of almost anything cooked, from dal-chawal and khichdi to parathas and raita. Ours is made with our own shuddh hing, so it has no wheat flour.

What it adds

A tangy, salty, gently hot lift that makes plain home food taste festive. Think of it as Awadh's answer to chaat masala, but earthier.

No added colour, preservatives or MSG. Packed in a compostable zipper pouch: press to seal after every use.

Dadi’s tip

“Bina buknu ke khichdi adhoori hai. Nani kept it in a brass dibbi on the dining table, next to the achaar.”
