Notes
- I always use fresh spices of high quality to make my chicken masala powder at home. You are advised to do the same. This will render the fresh and natural aroma of the spices.
- Make sure you roast the whole spices in a dry pan before grinding. This will also add to the taste and flavor of the eventual powder.
- Toast the spices correctly. Keep the flame low so that you do not burn them in the process. You must roast them until they change their color slightly and start releasing their natural aroma.
- Always cool the roasted spices completely before grinding. This will prevent condensation due to heat, which will be more due to the rotating motor of the mixer, and not make the powder clumpy.
- I prefer a coarse texture of the powder. However, you may make it smoother by grinding a couple of times more.
