A small homefood kitchen in Amsterdam, run by two people who love feeding people. We're putting the best dishes from our mothers' and grandmothers' kitchens on your table.
We're a husband-and-wife team in Amsterdam, both completely besotted with food. We grew up eating dishes that took half a day to make — the kind of food that fills the whole house with warmth.
Mokum Masala is our love letter to that food. We start with the recipes our moms and grandmoms taught us, cook everything by hand in small batches, and send it out to anyone in the city who'd like a taste of home.
Basmati layered with yogurt-marinated chicken, caramelised onions, saffron milk and ghee — slow-cooked on dum until every grain is fragrant.
Chicken on the bone simmered in coconut milk and a freshly-ground coastal masala. Best with parotta or coconut rice.
Odia street food — slow-cooked yellow peas with potatoes, our homemade ghughuni masala, yogurt and crunchy toppings.
Wok-tossed noodles stir-fried on high heat with juicy spiced chicken, garlic and crisp veggies — that smoky Indo-Chinese street kick.
Tangy tamarind temple rice from Karnataka, tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves and roasted peanuts.
Bright, zesty rice tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves and turmeric, finished with toasted peanuts.
Soft rice folded into yogurt with a gentle tempering of mustard, curry leaves, ginger and toasted lentils — soothing and cooling.
Rice cooked in creamy coconut milk with whole spices, curry leaves and ghee-toasted cashews — silky and aromatic.
Flaky, hand-folded layers, pan-cooked golden — perfect for mopping up a coastal curry.
We don't take orders here directly. Instead, you'll find us on the apps below.
We're rolling out a little food trailer for some of Amsterdam's upcoming markets — bringing fresh, hot homefood straight off the tawa. Follow us on Instagram for dates and locations.
Behind the scenes, weekly menus, market dates and the occasional mid-cook chaos. Come say hi.
