Gondh or edible gum has long been used as a binding and a thickening agent by the food and pharmaceutical industry. It is also used as an emulsifier, stabilizer and as a texturant additive. The ingredient is commonly used in bakery items, beauty products, fizzy energy drinks, ice creams, et cetera.
Rajah was founded back in 1931 when a former Indian army officer yearned for home cooked food in London and realised there was a market for this. He opened up a small shop called Bombay Emporium and began importing high quality spices from India to London. Initially, the store sold whole and ground Indian spices but as the UK Asian population grew and the nation’s appetite for Asian food expanded, other products were introduced such as seasonings, curry pastes, chutneys, pickles, and poppadums. Aptly named ‘Rajah’ spices, these palette-pleasing masalas began to rule South Asian kitchens and hearts in the UK from that moment on.
