I had plans to make this an event but currently, I don’t think its the best time to host events 🙂 So I am just going to start a series in this blog that talks occasionally about masala powders, and their best purpose.
The best way to start, of course, will be to start with the all-purpose curry masala that goes with all sorts of gravies and stir-fried dishes. Source is my mom, this time 🙂
All-Purpose Curry Masala Recipe
Ingredients:
Cloves – 10
Cardamom – 5
Cinnamon – a 3″ piece
Fennel seeds – 1 tbsp
Peppercorn – 1/4 tsp
Grind together all the ingredients until its pretty much smooth. This masala is very aromatic and can be used in any kind of curry, though its best suited for vegetarian dishes.
Recipes on this blog that use this masala:
Gobi Ka Kheema
Potato Masala

April 19, 2008 at 5:23 pmThis is a great series that could de-mystify masalas for me too! Would be happy to contribute if you do make it an event!

April 19, 2008 at 2:45 pmWonderful idea to share your curry recipe for Think Spice! I so enjoy curry, but rarely grind up my own.

April 19, 2008 at 11:05 amThat masala looks incredible, and sounds quite like a “Kerala-style garam masala” that Musical sent me. You are right- it is all-purpose and adds a flavorful punch.
I love the idea of this series, Nags. Also, I forgot to congratulate you on your upcoming wedding. So, Congratulations to you and your beau!
