Everywhere there's a color seen...
With winds hushing and ducks quacking...
A day that's dawning....
With stories, hopes and dreams...
You repel...
Winds compel..
Fighting through the day....
Then a small meltdown and you give away...
But still the hope stays....
And there comes a day of beauty again...
Its Fall again...
The recipe below has nothing to do with the above craziness....:)
Today the post is about pav bhaji masala powder. Until 2 years back I used to buy all the masala powders from stores...Even now I do but things that I really need. After coming to the place I live currently I dont find real gud stuffs for the money that I pay, so initially I started to avoid such stuffs...then later I felt that if avoiding is what I am going to do then I will have to do that in many cases...so that was not possible..Then I started to make masala powders as and when needed...I still do that..This is a masala powder tried from Veg Inspirations...It was very flavorful and made a whole lot of differences in the recipe by adding the fresh aroma of spices...
Coriander Seeds -1/4 cup
Cumin seeds -1/8 cup
Whole black pepper -1/8 cup
Fennel Seeds -1 and 1/2 tbsp
Dry red chilies -10 nos
Cinnamon -1 inch pieces 9 nos.
Dry mango powder/Amchur - 2 tbsp
Method of Preparation:
1. Dry roast all ingredients except amchur powder for few minutes on low heat until nice aroma is released from spices.
2. Add amchur powder and roast another minute.Turn off heat and cool completely. Then grind to fine powder. Cool and store in dry bottles.
3. They can be used to make pav bhaji masala/ Tawa pulao or in any Indian curries with these kind of spices.

ReplyDeletePassei para uma visitinha.
Sou encantada pelos temperos indianos, esse parece tão fácil de fazer.
Não tenho cardamomo (nunca vi esse tempero) e também não tenho manga em pó.
Usamos manga como fruta natural para saladas e doces.
Bom fim de semana!
Beijinhos.
