Dal makhani masala powder |

Yet another addition to my masala powders category. Freshly roasted and ground dal makhni masala powder. I have mentioned the ingredients in very small quantity, because these kinds of masala powders releases nice aroma when freshly ground/made whenever necessary.
Quantity/measurement of ingredients mentioned below is purely based on my guess and I felt it was perfect, but you can adjust if feel like so.
Ingredients : servings – approximately enough for 3 times
- Coriander seeds – 1 tbsp
- Whole red chili (byadigi)(less spicy n which enhances the color) – 4
- Tamarind – 1 tsp (amchur powder can be used here)
- Black pepper corn – 1/2 tsp
- Bay leaf – 1 medium sized
- Mace – 1 tsp
- Nutmeg – 1/4 tsp
- Dried ginger – an 1/2 inch piece
- Star anise – 1 (big)
- Cinnamon stick – 1/2 an inch piece (nip)(later I added 1/4 tsp of cinnamon powder before grinding)
- Hing – 1/8 tsp
PROCEDURE :
- Dry roast all the ingredients, no need to roast them till light brown, just warm them for a minute or so, let it cool, then grind into fine powder. Use as and when required
