Like a typical blogger, I also have some recipes which have been written down a few years back and stored away in a 'treasure chest'. Needless to say - out of sight, out of mind, right? I unearthed my treasure chest during a typical 'Spring Cleaning' a few weeks back. It gives a nice feeling to see some nostalgic pictures, mementos and other pieces of interest once in a while.
So when Srivalli announced the themes for BM #18, I was thrilled to find that she had included a theme for kitchen basics which make life easy.
So for Day 1 week 3 of BM #18, here is the main masala which goes into the ever popular Pav Bhaji.
Ingredients -
Coriander Seeds / Dhania 4 Tbsp
Cumin Seeds / Jeera 2 Tbsp
Pepper Corns 2 Tbsp
Cinnamon 4 inch piece
Cloves 1 Tbsp
Black Cardamom seeds 1 tsp
Fennel seeds / Sonf 2 tsp
Dry Red Chillies 8-10 (depending on the spice level needed)
Turmeric 1 tsp
Amchur Powder / Dry Mango Powder 2 Tbsp
Method Of Preparation -
Dry roast all the ingredients except turmeric and amchur powder separately until each of them give out a nice aroma.
Let them cool and powder them together adding the amchur powder and turmeric.
Mix well and store in an air tight container for further use.

Makes 3/4 cup

Wow.. homemade pav bhaji masala, it's funny how I can only think of Everest when I think of pav bhaji masala. Looks simple to make, may be next time when I run out of the store bought one, I'll make this.
I agree with Pavani.Everest masala came to my mind when I read pav bhaji masala and she has mentioned the same.. :)
Very useful post.

Harini, I wish I had waited to see your post before preparing the rice I am going to post tomorrow. I thought of adding some pav bhaji masala, only to find an expired box in the pantry.
Wow..homemade pav bhaji masala
will try this. Although I think I remember you saying in one of the earlier posts that you tried out Badshah brand of Pav bhaji masala - I bought that pack, and we liked the taste and flavour a lot..
