By Boxing Day Sanjay had sold his first ever spice box on Ebay! Realising the potential, he quickly sourced some good quality stainless steel Indian spice tins and packed them with essential Indian spices along with his mum’s super special garam masala. He started out at Altrincham Market in Manchester, where he pitched up with a makeshift sign and some wooden tables, selling the tins and serving mulled wine - often in freezing conditions. It wasn't long before things really started to take off and having outgrown the kitchen table at home, Shashi and Sanjay found their first little manufacturing space in Cheshire. With more room, they could extend the range from the flagship Indian Spice Tin into Middle Eastern, World, International Chilli, Moroccan and Gin Botanicals collections.
