Method
  1. Mildly roast all the spices in a pan
  2. Once spices are roasted , grind finely \ coarsely and store in air tight container
Tip
  • Store in airtight container to retain aroma
  • At a time try making just a weekly or fortnightly supply , this will give your food very fresh aroma
  • Below masala is enough for me for a week , in case you want to more supply , adjust the quantity proportionately
  • You can add following additional spices too to make it more aromatic
    • Mace  - Jaivitri (4-5)
    • Nutmeg Jaifhal (1)
