Pav Bhaji Masala


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


Pav Bhaji Masala


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.

  2. 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.
