Kalvert's Jeera Masala Syrup bottles the roadside jeera-soda stand — a liter of tangy roasted-cumin and black-salt concentrate.

Mix with chilled club soda for authentic jal-jeera style masala soda, the savory Indian soft drink that beats cola with fried snacks and biryani.

It is one of those staples we keep restocking because Los Angeles regulars ask for Kalverts Jeera Masala Syrup by name. Kalverts Jeera Masala Syrup is the kind of specific little item a deep international grocery exists to carry. EBT is accepted in store at Anora's Cash N Carry.
