Kadhai Masala
Indian Spice Blend perfect for any Indian style stir fries.
Servings: 1 /4 cup
Ingredients
- Coriander seeds : 4 tbsp
- Cumin seeds : 1 tbsp
- Black pepper corn : 1/2 tsp
- Cloves : 1/2 tsp
- Dry Red Kashmiri chillies or Degi Mirch : 3 to 4. You may use 1 tsp of fancy paprika too.
- Bay leaf : 2 small or 1 big
- Cinnamon stick : 1 inch small
- Black cardamom : 1
Instructions
- Dry roast all the ingredients together in the pan, on lower to medium flame till you get a nice aroma. Don't burn them.
- Cool the spices to room temperature.
- Ground them coarse in the grinder. Don't make a fine powder. If you can, grind them in pestle and morsel. That is the trick to this pice mix that it is not supposed to be fine.
- Store in an air tight jar. Good for 2-3 months.
Suggestion to use
- You may use it with anything as a spice mix, not necessarily Kadhai dishes only. I have added it to khichdi (rice and lentil mash) and topped few other dishes too.
