uJUMP TO RECIPE

For best flavor, always roast ingredients on low flame until aromatic. Cool completely before grinding to maintain freshness. Use dry coconut for longer shelf life. Store in an airtight jar away from sunlight for up to a month. This masala enhances the flavor of bland vegetables—try it with ridge gourd, brinjal, or potato. You can skip red chili powder if using spicy chilies while grinding. Adjust tamarind as per tanginess preference.
