If you are a spicy food lover go for this masala... make some spicy dishes with it and enjoy. I usually get my masala from Kolhapur. Now since I am not in India I had to make it at home... well home made is good to for its fresh flavours.
Cloves ............... 12
Cinnamon ........ 2 inch piece
Black pepper .... 1/2 tsp.
Mace .................. 1 full piece
Coriander seeds ..1 tsp.
Bay leaf ............... 1
Poppy seeds.......... 2 tsp. (Khus khus)
Cumin seeds .......... 1/4 tsp.
Fennel seeds .......... 1/2 tsp. (saunf)
Star anise ................ 1 piece
Cardamoms ............ 2-3
Dry red chillies ........ 7-8
Dry coconut ............. 1 tbsp. (Dessicated)
Oil to roast ............ 1tsp.
Method:
Roast and dry grind to a coarse powder.
This is a closer version of the Kolhapuri masala. The original one has few more spices, which are difficult to get outside Maharashtra. However this spice blend is equally good for Kolhapuri dishes.
