Transform everyday meals into something extraordinary.
We've all done it - cooked something that we know is kind of good but it's not quite great.That's where Apostle's Chaat Masala Seasoning steps in, turning the ordinary into the unforgettable with the merest of generous pinches.
This isn't your standard spice blend. Crafted by Wellington's Apostle, this 45g jar holds the kind of flavour alchemy that comes from understanding both tradition and the modern Kiwi kitchen. They've taken the tangy, street-food brightness of classic chaat masala and woven it together with the warm, aromatic depth of garam masala and they've created something that honours South Asian heritage while speaking fluently to how we actually cook today.
What makes it special?
The secret lies in the toasting. Apostle lightly toasts their spices to coax out nutty, caramelised undertones that add complexity without overwhelming. Then they balance that warmth with fresh, vibrant aromatics that lift and brighten. The result is deeply savoury, boldly tangy, and endlessly versatile - it's the kind of seasoning that makes you reach for it again and again.
How you'll use it:
Dust it over golden roast kumara straight from the oven. Shake it onto hot chips for instant elevation. Finish grilled lamb, chicken, or halloumi with a flourish. Stir through yoghurt for a quick raita, or sprinkle over poached eggs and avocado on toast. This is the seasoning that turns Tuesday night dinner into something you'll remember.
Why Milly's Kitchen stocks it:
We champion makers who respect their craft, and Apostle exemplifies that philosophy. Their spice blends are thoughtfully composed, beautifully balanced, and made right here in Aotearoa with integrity and skill. This chaat masala delivers restaurant-level flavour right to your kitchen, for everyday feasting.
Keep it within arm's reach of your stovetop. You'll wonder how you ever cooked without it.

The Apostle story began when Lydia and Mat, moved to Paekākāriki in 2018. Mat had been experimenting with sauces, ferments and spice mixes for years, so in an effort to connect with their new community they started selling Mat’s homemade creations at the village market.
Encouraged by an overwhelmingly positive response, they turned their hobby into a business at the end of 2019. Combining Mat’s love of crafting unique sauces with Lydia’s background in graphic design, Apostle was launched.
Using high-quality ingredients like organic apple cider vinegar and cold-pressed, New Zealand rapeseed oil or locally grown chillies and Kawakawa from their garden. Flavours are inspired by the wonderfully diverse culinary landscape of Aotearoa. A melting pot of different cultures and styles of cuisine, blending the very best of local flavours to make every dish one to enjoy.
Drawing on Roman Catholic artwork, Greek Orthodox iconography, Irish illuminated manuscripts and Tarot de Marseille for inspiration, each label is designed to be a miniature work of art, hand-drawn by the remarkably talented Juju. Today, Apostle operates from a dedicated commercial kitchen space, still based on the Kāpiti Coast as a team of three.
The range has expanded to include other sacred sides such as hot honey, chilli oil and kimchi ketchup and is now stocked in more than 200 stores across New Zealand, Australia, Japan and the UK.
But the core focus remains the same: creating small-batch, lovingly crafted products that bring joy to your meals.
