Our family's journey began in 1946, when Mr. Basil Ali established the trusted Shamsheer brand in the colour industry.
Built on honesty, quality, and long-term customer relationships, his values continue to inspire SAUD Spices today.

About Lucknowi Cuisine
Lucknowi cuisine is celebrated for its refined cooking techniques, delicate aromas, balanced spices, and rich Nawabi heritage. It features an exceptional variety of kebabs, kormas, kaliya, nahari, kulchas, sheermal, roomali rotis, warqi parathas, biryanis, kachoris, and traditional desserts.
One of its most recognised cooking techniques is the dum style, in which food is slow-cooked over a low flame in a sealed vessel. This process allows the ingredients, aromas, and spices to blend gradually and develop a deep, distinctive flavour.
The careful use of saffron, red chilli, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, mace, nutmeg, and other aromatic spices gives authentic Lucknowi food its elegant taste, rich fragrance, and unmistakable character.
