Masala

Indian homemade powder masalas are custom-made spice blends, typically prepared by dry-roasting and grinding whole spices like coriander, cumin, and cardamom, to create a rich flavor and aroma for dishes. The specific ingredients and ratios vary widely depending on the regional cuisine and the desired type of masala (e.g., garam masala, chicken masala, tandoori masala). Making masalas at home ensures freshness and allows for personalization to achieve the desired depth, aroma, and bold flavor.
