Thirteen Spices, One Blend: What Goes Into Dakloni’s Chicken and Meat Masala Claims

BHUBANESWAR — Dakloni Masala markets its Chicken Masala as an “aromatic blend of 13 spices for authentic chicken curry,” a specific-sounding claim that appears on the product’s packaging and marketing creatives. Its Meat Masala carries similar language. The Odisha-based brand, operated by Green Chocy Private Limited, has not published the actual list of the 13 spices or their proportions in the blend.

Naming a precise spice count is a common device in India’s packaged-masala category, used by both large national brands and smaller regional entrants to signal complexity and craftsmanship without necessarily disclosing a full recipe — proprietary blend ratios are typically treated as trade secrets industry-wide, so Dakloni’s non-disclosure is not unusual in itself.

Why the Number Matters to Shoppers

Spice-blend formulation affects flavour, heat level and how a masala performs across different regional cooking styles, and shoppers comparing packaged masalas often use ingredient lists, when available, to judge freshness or filler content — for instance, whether a blend leans on cheaper starch or salt fillers rather than whole spices. Dakloni’s packaging states “No Additives” and “No Added Flavours,” which speaks to what is excluded, but does not itself confirm the composition or ratio of the 13 named spices.

Standard packaging for pre-packaged food in India requires an ingredient list in descending order by weight; whether Dakloni’s boxes carry this listing on panels not captured in the marketing creatives reviewed for this report could not be confirmed.

A Category Where Comparison Is Difficult

Because blend ratios are rarely public across the category, comparing Dakloni’s Chicken Masala or Meat Masala against competitors on formulation grounds is difficult for an outside observer; most comparisons by consumers end up resting on taste testing and repeat-purchase behaviour rather than published specification. Food-industry analysts note this is one reason smaller masala brands lean heavily on origin and purity storytelling — it is easier to communicate and verify at a glance than a 13-ingredient ratio.
