My name is Amar Singh, the founder behind Spicemode. A first-generation Sikh born and raised in Chicago from parents who immigrated to the USA from Myanmar in the 1960s.
Like many immigrants to this country, we were exposed to a world of new ingredients and flavors. We quickly realized how food can bring cultures together even if they are continents apart.
My mother's cooking started to reflect this diverse combination of cuisines, ingredients, and cooking styles. She began adding her own twist to our new favorite dishes, but always with one common denominator; spice.
Fast forward several years and I had volunteered several years with an NGO in my ancestral homeland of Punjab, traveled the globe and studied photography in Paris. Every new culture I discovered brought with it a whole new world of flavor, aroma, and spices. After many years of working in design, I always found myself longing to bring alive my passion for food. That’s when I decided to create my food truck; The Curry Cruiser.
The Curry Cruiser was known to reimagine dishes. I was on a mission to show people that Indian food didn’t have to be made with lots of cream and gravy. I developed a flavor-packed menu centered on handmade flatbreads and vibrantly spiced curries. It was dynamic, distinct, and layered with spices.
Most importantly, it was made without shortcuts. Roasting and grinding spices by hand, caramelizing onions for hours on the stovetop, and always using the freshest of ingredients - this is what micro-batch is all about.
After years of perfecting my recipes, I parked The Curry Cruiser and started Spicemode so that I could bring my unique spices and sauces developed in Chicago, to home kitchens around the country.
By combining artisan tradition with design we celebrate spice blends from around the world in easy to use, small-batch curry sauces, seasonings, and rubs. That’s why the five chiles in our Fiery Vindaloo Curry Sauce are distinctly Mexican. The ratio of sugar, salt, and spice in our Sweet Chilifire is all American BBQ. And our Golden Curry seasoning blends turmeric with chili flakes and French herbs.
Because the complexity of global flavors should be simple enough for anyone to discover. This is the time to celebrate the crossing of bold flavors, cultures, and cuisines.
This is the flavor revolution. This is Spicemode.
Whether you're in the mood for a quick chicken sauté or slow-roasted pork shoulder, Spicemode cooking sauces add a rich, ethnic twist to any dish. Use Spicemode to recreate a traditional Indian curry or to freshen up your favorite chili recipe. Our sauces are the starting point for a perfect home-cooked meal, packed with flavor and full of possibilities.
We like fresh ingredients as much as you do. Each product in the Spicemode family is made with real, fresh, and whole ingredients, just like a home-cooked meal. Our aromatics are locally sourced from midwestern farms, freshly chopped in-house, and make the perfect base for our small-batch sauces, sauces that we pride ourselves in cooking with care and patience, and without preservatives.
Inspired by a passion to simplify complex recipes, I aimed to create bold & flavorful, small batch products with an ethnic twist. Created on a foundation of regional Indian spice blends, inspired by my mother recipes, a variety of chiles and herbs plus the addition of ginger, garlic, and onion, my handcrafted sauces and seasonings will bring new culinary dimensions of flavor to your favorite recipes.
