Notes
- All the spices must be dried and fresh for long-lasting storage.
- Roasting spices is good to do as it helps in drying out any moisture present in the spices.
- Do not roast spices on high heat as it may burn spices, and these will be bitter.
- Cool down spices before grinding; otherwise, moisture may arise. It can spoil the masala later on.
- If you like mint also, you can add a few dry mint leaves while grinding the spices.
- Always use a clean, dry spoon when using it.
- Store in an air-tight jar. It stays fresh for at least 4-5 months at room temperature.
