To make Masala Powder

  1. To make dry Masala Powder. Take a blender and add roasted cumin seeds to it. Cumin seeds are commonly known as jeera. Ensure that the cumin seeds are well roasted, else they will lend a very raw taste to the masala powder. You might think that the proportion of cumin seeds is more than the other ingredients, but that’s necessary to balance the taste.
  2. Add the peppercorns. They are popularly termed as kalimirch. Use the whole peppercorns only as they would mix well with other ingredients while grinding.
  3. Add the cloves. They have a very strong flavour and aroma. They add a little pungency to the masala powder. If you aren’t very fond of its flavour, restrict to adding only 2 cloves.
  4. Add the salt. While the salt is usually added as per taste, for this recipe we recommend adding the mentioned amount of ½ tbsp, so as to get the perfect flavour of each ingredient.
  5. Add the black salt. Extensively referred to as kala namak, this light pink coloured spice powder has a very peculiar flavour which can perk up the taste of any dish. Do not miss out on adding this ingredient.
  6. Close the lid of the blender and grind to a fine powder. Do not over grind it, else the clove might lend an off-taste to the dry masala powder.
  7. Use Dry Masala Powder (Mumbai roadside recipe) to make different chaats like Sukha Bhel, Sev Puri, Green Pea Chaat, Potato Chaat and so on…
  8. Since you will make this dry masala powder in a batch and not use it at one go, store the remaining  dry masala powder in an air-tight container. It stays fresh for 2 to 3 weeks when stored in at room temperature and up to 2-3 months when stored refrigerated.
