What makes KABO different from standard curry powders?
Our blends are more than just spices—they are "dry simmer sauces." Crafted by a professional chef with over 18 years of experience, they are designed to give you a complex, authentic flavor profile without the hours of preparation.
How long does it take to cook a meal with KABO?
We value your time. Most of our signature curry blends are designed to help you create a restaurant-quality meal in just 20 minutes.
Are your products suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! Whether you are a student, a busy parent, or a professional, our blends take the guesswork out of Indian cooking. If you can simmer, you can cook with KABO.
Can I use these for things other than curry?
Yes! Many of our blends, like the Madras or Kolhapuri Masalas, work beautifully as BBQ rubs, seasonings for roasted vegetables, or even a flavorful sprinkle for fries.
How do I use KABO Dry Simmer Sauces?
Cooking a restaurant-quality meal is easy and takes just 20 minutes. Follow these three simple steps:
- Sauté: Heat a little oil in a pan and lightly sauté your choice of protein (chicken, meat, or seafood) or vegetables.
- Mix: Add your preferred KABO Dry Simmer Sauce blend and a splash of water, coconut milk, or cream (depending on the recipe).
- Simmer: Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes until cooked through.
Chef’s Tip: For a deeper flavor, let the spices toast in the oil for 30 seconds before adding your liquid. Since our blends are packed with real spices and no fillers, a little goes a long way!
Can I use these in a Slow Cooker or Pressure Cooker?
Yes! Our blends are perfect for slow cooking. Just add the spices along with your ingredients and liquid at the start. Because there are no preservatives or thickeners, the flavors will intensify beautifully over time.
Do I need to add extra salt or ginger-garlic paste?
Our compositions are complete. We have done the hard work of sourcing and blending the essentials. However, cooking is personal—feel free to add a touch of fresh coriander or a squeeze of lime at the end to make it your own!
Do your products contain preservatives or MSG?
No. We believe in purity. Our blends are loaded with real spices and contain no fillers, no preservatives, and no MSG.
Are KABO products Gluten-Free?
Many of our products are formulated with no gluten sources. However, they are processed in a facility that also handles products containing gluten. Please check individual packaging for specific allergen details.
Are your blends Vegan-friendly?
Most of our spice blends are 100% plant-based. You can easily pair them with coconut milk, tofu, or vegetables to create a delicious vegan meal.
Where do you ship?
We currently ship across Australia via our website and Amazon. We are also excited to announce that we are expanding to reach international kitchens soon!
Where can I find KABO in person?
Keep an eye out! We are currently expanding into select local grocery shops around Melbourne.
Who is behind KABO?
KABO was founded by Chef Ajith Kumar Damodaran. His mission is to bring authentic, regional Indian flavors (like our specialty Coconut Curry and Biryani blends) into modern kitchens without compromising on tradition or time.
