Available in a 90g jar, ₹10 pouches (12g each), and a 500g pack.
Sourcing and Origin
This masala got its name from the Swahili name of pepper and its now world-famous spice through Portuguese cooking. Hathi masala takes the real, bold piri piri base and builds it with good-quality whole spices sourced from reliable farms across India. Hathi masala doesn’t use any shortcuts in sourcing, and doesn’t compromise with quality. They source red chilli, garlic, and coriander from their best-growing regions, and the herbs are sourced for good fragrance and freshness. Each ingredient is evaluated before processing.
Key Ingredients: Chilli powder, dehydrated garlic powder, dehydrated onion powder, iodized salt, sugar, herbs such as oregano and parsley, black salt, coriander-cumin powder.
Why Cryogenic Grinding Matters for Piri Piri Mix
A high-quality peri peri masala is a combination of multiple spices, such as chilli, paprika, garlic, onion, coriander-cumin, and oregano. Every spice contains natural essential oils, which gives the spices their flavour and aroma. A traditional grinding machine generates heat due to the friction, this heat evaporates these oils. Hathi masala ground these spices using a cryogenic grinding method that cools all the spices to –150°C using liquid nitrogen before grinding. This low temperature preserves the essential oils. This is why Hathi peri peri masala tastes bold and layered every time.
How to Use Piri Piri Mix
- In a Chicken or Paneer Marinade: Mix 1-2 tbsp of this masala with oil, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Mix everything perfectly and coat the chicken or paneer. Let it sit for around 30 minutes before grilling or baking. This will give you that street-style spicy flavor.
- French Fries and Potato Wedges: Sprinkle 1 tsp over fries or wedges while they’re still hot. Toss them well so the masala coats uniformly. Add a squeeze of lemon on top, and it tastes even better.
- Pizza Seasoning: Add some masala mix directly over pizza after baking, in the same way you use oregano or chilli flakes. This masala adds a bold, more complex spice than regular chilli flakes.
- Pasta: Mix 0.5-1 teaspoon with pasta sauce at the end of cooking to add a spicy, flavourful twist to arrabbiata or simple aglio e olio.
- Peri Peri Dip: Add 1 teaspoon into mayonnaise or thick curd, and mix well to get a quick dipping sauce for fries, wraps, sandwiches, or cutlets.
- Roasted Snacks: Sprinkle 0.5 tsp of this masala over roasted snacks, such as makhana, peanuts, or nachos. It'll give a quick chatpata snack that feels completely different from your usual Indian masala mixes.

History & Source
History & Source
Piri evolved on the African continent, specifically in Mozambique and Angola, where Portuguese colonizers found the piri piri chili pepper. This spicy pepper became a staple in their cuisine, and it was eventually combined with a variety of other spices to form the renowned peri sauce and flavor that we know today. Hathi Piri Mix takes cues from this rich culinary past, blending the potent flavors of piri mix with conventional Indian spices.
Benefits in Ayurveda
Spices are used in Ayurveda for more than simply their flavor; they also have healing effects. Spices like chili, cumin, and garlic are known for their digestive benefits. They promote digestion, boost metabolism, and minimize bloating.

FAQ
What is piri piri mix used for?
This masala is also known as peri peri masala. This spice mix is mainly used in marinating and grilling chicken, paneer, prawns, and vegetables. It also works as a seasoning for French fries, pizza, pasta, wraps, sandwiches, and snacks. Basically, it works with any dish that calls for a bold, spicy, garlicky flavor.
How much peri peri masala should I use?
1-2 tbsp is enough for a marinade of 250–500g of chicken, vegetables, or paneer. If you’re using this to season fries or snacks, 1 tsp works perfectly. Start with 0.5 tsp in pizza or pasta, and adjust the amount according to your spice tolerance.
How can I check if my peri peri masala is good quality?
The smell test is the best way to check this. Open the pack, and if it gives off an immediate smell of chilli, onion, and garlic, it’s the right quality. If it has no smell or gives off only a faint one, it has already lost its essential oils and compounds during processing.
How are peri peri masala and regular chilli powder different?
Red chili powder is made from ground red chilies. It is used to add spice and color to daily Indian dishes, dal, sabji, and curries. Piri piri mix adds an entirely unique taste profile: spicy, garlicky, herby, and slightly smoky. It contains spices such as garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, coriander, cumin, and chili.
Why is cryogenically ground peri peri masala better than regular peri peri masala?
Every spice used in this mix contains volatile essential oils that give it flavor and fragrance. A traditional grinding machine generates heat that evaporates these essential oils. Hathi Masala uses cryogenic grinding, which cools each spice to –150°C before grinding. This method preserves its natural oils, resulting in a bold, rich powder.
How should I store peri peri masala at home?
Transfer the spice mix to an airtight glass or steel container after opening. Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Always use a dry spoon. Use it within 12-14 months of opening.
Does hathi piri piri mix contain artificial colour?
No. The rich, red color and sharp fragrance come completely from the dried red chili. No artificial colors or preservatives are added. Every batch is lab-tested for purity and safety before dispatch.
Can I make a dip using Piri Piri Mix?
Yes. Mix 1 tsp of this masala mix with thick curd, hung curd, mayonnaise, or any sauce, along with a small pinch of salt, and combine well. It will give you a quick peri peri dip in under a minute. It’s perfect for fries, sandwiches, samosas, or any fried snack.
