Product Information

I’m feeling the shame here though. The hypocrisy is almost more than I can bear. Almost. I’m bad. I use food colouring when I take pictures for glebekitchen. I like to keep my batches small. Use it up. While it’s still amazing. And then make some more. Tandoori masala from scratch Cinnamon— Cinnamon is known for its distinct sweetness and unique flavor, besides its amazingly unique aroma that takes the dish to the next level. If you cannot find alkanet, use any of the options given above. They work quite well in this recipe. I don’t always do it. It’s work. I’d have some of the best recipes on the internet if I asked everyone to grind their spices for every dish.

A medley of whole and powdered Indian spices that give it a distinct texture and taste. Here is the complete list - Simple. Toast the dry whole spices in a shallow pan until fragrant. Let the toasted spices cool down, then grind to a fine powder in a spice grinder or coffee grinder. Mix in the powdered spices and your seasoning is ready to use. Whole dried Kashmiri Red Chilies— These chiliesdo not carry much heat but impart a terrific color to any dish. Here we add it to the masala mix to get an intense and appealing color. Hmm. Tandoori spice vs. garam masala. Both are certainly not interchangeable. These are the differences between the two - Cloves— A warm and aromatic spice with a sharp aroma and an intense flavor. It is used here to add its unique flavor to our tandoori masala powder.Food coloring— Sometimes, color additives are added to food color to attain a deep red color. But if you are looking for a natural food color, try beetroot powder, which works great. Lately, I have been using beetroot powder in my tandoori recipes, which gives my dishes a beautiful color. Nutmeg Powder— Nutmeg enriches the masala with its distinctive warm and nutty flavor and also with its added citrusy notes. I love cooking with spice, not necessarily heat. It’s important to me that my kids recognize and appreciate different flavours; tolerating the heat is never the focus. When it comes to great quality spices, I turn to Kissan. garam masala is used in almost all Indian sauces, gravies and curries unlike tandoori masala which is mainly used in tandoori preparations.

We do first eat with our eyes. It’s your kitchen. Your call. I’m about flavour. Colour is up to you. It does scale though. If you need a lot of it just use the slider in the recipe card. You can make a kilo of it if you want. Toss some whole spices in a pan. Toast them until fragrant. Grind. Mix with some ground spices. That’s it. Boiling water is more complicated. In a large glass or stainless steel mixing bowl, create a marinade by adding K issan Tandoori Masala, yogurt, salt to taste and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.Kashmiri Red Chillies - available as whole dried chillies or in the form of a powder. While they will not add a very deep red colour to anything, they are certainly an option if nothing else is available as they are not too hot. I’m not sure it’s possible to overstate how big a deal freshly ground spices are. Game changer. Mind blower even. Huge. Terrible. I know. But red sells. Nobody would care otherwise. Which is unfortunate. But also fact. I am guilty of propagating the myth.

Makes it really hard to write recipes. One brand works but another one is way too salty. That’s why I am doing this post. I’m tired of being limited.This recipe does not make a lot of tandoori masala. And there’s a reason for that. The wonder that fresh ground spices brings does not last forever. It fades. There’s a time and place for everything. Your kitchen is the place. This is the time. Tandoori masala is so worth the effort. Try it. You’ll see. Small batches are best for tandoori masala Customizable— The best part of preparing any masala mix at home is that you can customize it the way you want. If you’re going to reduce the quantity of any particular spice, you can freely do that. Feel free to omit it if you don’t have a liking for it.
