I prefer homemade spices to Market spices but when I am in a hurry, I tend to use Readymade spices. When I first brought this, I assumed it was just like another market based spices but then after using it my perception has changed. This tastes as good as homemade one. Not just for Raita, I sprinkle it over my salads too. This has reduced my efforts, made my raitas taste excellent and is of good quality. The packaging and handling was equally good. I would definitely recommend this spices over other market based ones
