Notes
- Do not compromise with the quality and freshness of the whole spices if you want an authentic and rich flavor in your jhaal muri masala powder.
- You may roast all the spices together or separately. However, roasting to perfection on a low flame is the key to success and optimization of flavor. So, be patient while roasting and remove them only when you notice a color change. Till then stir the spices continuously.
- Transfer the hot roasted spices onto a plate and spread them instead of the grinder. This will expedite the cooling process, which is crucial for preventing condensation while grinding achieving the right texture of the powder.
- There is no restriction in altering the ratios of spices used in making the mixture. My recipe is customizable and therefore you are free to add personal touch to your jhaal muri masala powder.
- Do not forget to add oil in the end. This will add magic to the masala powder by enhancing its taste. It will also act as a natural preservative.
