Mutton Masala Powder (Spice Mix)

®This is a RAS signature Recipe©

A useful spice mixture, that is not only great for traditional Mutton dishes but adds a magical touch of spice to your Vegetarian dishes as well! I like how it transforms the everyday-regular veg curries, especially.

Makes 180 gms approximately.

Ingredients:

Method:

1. In a dry pan ( heavy-based is best), add all the whole spices and dal into the pan and toast for about 30 seconds, till nice and fragrant (medium heat with constant stirring).
2. Add the thinly sliced garlic cloves ( patted dry first ).  Stir on a medium flame for 1 minute, covering the garlic with the spices, as you stir to dry them out a little.
3. Next, add the curry leaves ( they should be dry). Keep tossing the spices for another minute, till the curry leaves get dehydrated also.
4. Allow to cool off in the pan.
5. Add to a spice grinder and grind coarsely.
6. Also add Kashmiri Chilli Powder, Turmeric Powder, and Salt. Grind once more to incorporate.
7. Allow cooling completely after grinding. Store in an airtight container up to 1 month in the fridge.
8. I store this at room temperature without any problem, but due to the addition of fresh garlic, keeping in the fridge is advised. See notes.

Mutton Masala Powder (Spice Mix)

Notes:

• I love this Homemade Mutton Masala in Vegetarian recipes like my Green Peas Masala and Mushroom Masala Gravy(coming soon). To regular Mutton dishes, just add a tsp or so in place of Garam Masala, along with an additional blend of Coriander, Chilli Pepper, or Fennel powder.
• Break the cinnamon sticks into small pieces, to be able to asses with a measuring spoon. Careful not to add too much cinnamon in this recipe, as it will overpower the other spices.

Key Ingredients: Spices (whole and powdered), Garlic,  Curry leaves, Salt.
