Premade Spice mixes

[abhi]

I like to blend my own spice mix most of the time (varying combinations and proportion of cumin, coriander, peppercorns, cloves, cardamom (green or black) , cinnamon, nutmeg, mace and bay leaves) but I love Baadshah meat masala. For one of my goat preparation it is a must. Mmmmm.

Also, kasoori methi (dry fenugreek leaves) is my secret ingredient in quite a few dishes.

One combination I like is the achaari masala (black mustard seeds, cumin, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds and black pepper corn). The fennel and the fenugreek seeds will bring out the smell of the good old aam ka achaar! Usually use it with yogurt for thick curries.

cheers.
