The goda masala is a Maharashtrian goda masala, the Maharashtrian version of garam masala. goda masala is used in several traditional Maharashtrian dishes, to give a tongue-tickling flavour and appetising aroma.
goda masala has a whole lot of ingredients, but you can add or remove some of these as per your preference and taste. Some people, for example, add triphal too to this masala. You can use Byadagi chillies instead of Kashmiri chillies if you want less spice and a deep colour. So, what we have given you is a basic Maharashtrian goda masala recipe that you can modify as per your taste.
What is important is to split the ingredients into three groups when making Maharashtrian goda masala – one that needs to be dry-roasted, one that needs to be roasted with oil, and finally the group that needs to be added directly. Then, you can process each group and grind.
Notes on goda masala. 1. When the pan is moderately hot, dry roast coriander seeds on a slow flame for 3 minutes or till they release aroma and turn light brown in colour, while stirring continuously. Transfer into a deep bowl. Ensure you don’t brown them a lot. 2. Make sure the roasted stuff is cooled completely before grinding Maharashtrian goda masala to avoid lumps.
