Nagpur’s Secret Sauces: How TBS Creates the Perfect Blend of Spices

Published: 31 October 2025 | Category: Kitchen | Tags: TBS, Sauces

At TBS Nagpur we believe sauces make the dish. Our kitchen balances tradition and consistency—starting from whole spices, slow roasting and grinding to create complex masalas that define our menu.

The Building Blocks: Whole Spices & Fresh Ingredients

We start with whole spices: cumin, coriander, black pepper, cinnamon, and locally sourced red chillies. Roasting the spices lightly brings out deeper aromas and reduces raw bitterness.

Signature Tomato-Onion Base

Most of our sauces use a tomato-onion base, cooked down until natural sweetness emerges. This base is then tempered with the house masala for balance and depth.

Private Marination & Slow Cooking

For dishes like Saoji Chicken we use a longer marination and low-heat slow cooking to allow the sauce to penetrate meat and create a tender, flavourful result.

How We Keep It Consistent

• Standardised spice blends per batch.
• Quality control tasting during prep.
• Fresh produce—never frozen—when possible.
