Pav Bhaji Masala
The masala used in making the Bhaji for pav
Bhaji is known as Pav Bhaji Masala. It is available in stores.
I always like to use the freshly ground masala
. so I made the masala myself for using in the bhaji.
This masala making is simple with few
ingredients , the list may seems long .
Requirements :
Coriander seeds – 2 tbs
Cumin seeds – 1 tbs
Red chilli – 4
Cardamom – 2
Cloves – 6
Cinnamon – 1’’ piece
Star anise – 2
Fennel seeds - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
Dry Mango powder ( Amchur )
– 1 tbs
Garam masala powder – 1 tbs
Asafetida – ¼ tsp
Oil – 1 tsp
Method :
Heat the oil in a pan , add the coriander
seeds and cumin , stir well.
It will splutter.
Add the broken red chillies , cardamom , cloves , cinnamon ,
star anise , fennel seeds , dry ginger.
Roast well in medium flame.
Let it cool.
Add the asafoetida, garam masala,
turmeric powder and amchur powder.
Grind in a dry blender to a
fine paste.
Cool for few minutes.
Store in the air tight
container.
Pav Bhaji masala is ready
to use.
This masala is also used in
making Tawa pulov.
