Pure Jain & Saatvik Heritage

A Passion for Pure Wellness & Authentic Flavors

Hailing from an entrepreneurial Gujarati family in South Mumbai, Mr. Akash Jhaveri grew up immersed in the rich traditions of pure vegetarian food. Driven by a deep commitment to fitness, martial arts, and holistic well-being, he pursued formal studies in Food and Nutrition from Sophia College out of a genuine love for nutritional science.

During his studies, upon learning about the widespread ill effects of commercial packaged foods and adulterated spices—often heavily loaded with onion, garlic, artificial food colours, and chemical preservatives—came the resolute vision to produce healthy, pure, yet authentic recipes, giving birth to KANHAJI MASALE.

Our Heritage & Craft

The Evolution of Pure Flavour

Milestone 01

Ancestral Wisdom

Rooted in three generations of family culinary tradition, our foundational spice blends and stone-ground secrets were perfected in the home kitchen, upholding strict Saatvik and Jain purity standards without compromise.

Milestone 02

2020 Supermarket Roots

Launched in 2020 as a neighborhood supermarket with primary focus on pure pulses, flours, and raw unadulterated spices. Kanhaji Masale rapidly earned heartfelt trust among families seeking authentic, clean ingredients.

Milestone 03

Artisanal Spice Craft

Heartwarming acclaim for our handcrafted Chai Masala and Milk Masala recipes inspired the complete transition into dedicated artisanal manufacturing—slow-grinding fresh batches weekly and shipping pan-India.

Devotional Anchor & Sacred Seva

Guided by the Grace of Shri Radharaman Lal Ju & Guru Maharaj

For Akash, this calling deepened far beyond enterprise into a life of spiritual devotion. On the holy occasion of Nirjala Ekadashi (June 2026), through the divine grace of Shri Radharaman Lal Ju, he was formally initiated (deeksha) by his revered Guru Maharaj, Gaudiya Peethadhishwar Shri Chandan Goswami Maharaj (Shri Radharaman Temple, Vrindavan), and blessed with the spiritual disciple name Manmath Anuragi, formally embracing the path of a Radharamaniya.

This sacred initiation reshaped the very soul of Kanhaji Masale. In Vaishnav and Jain households, food prepared for the home and offered to Thakurji is sacred—it is Prasad. Slow-grinding authentic spices without onion, garlic, chemical fillers, or shortcuts is therefore not merely a quality standard, but a personal Seva to Thakurji and to pure kitchens across India.
