Maharashtrian Goda Masala Powder Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Goda Masala Recipe, first place a large pan/wok/kadai on a medium heat to roast all the ingredients

Step 2: When the kadai is moderately hot, with the heat on medium, gently and separately roast the ingredients listed under ‘To be roasted dry’ until they are fragrant and lightly browned

Step 3: Take care to keep the heat consistent and moderate so as not to burn any of the ingredients

Step 4: When each of the ingredients is roasted till aromatic, remove it in a separate container/wide plate and place it aside to cool

Step 5: Once that is done, proceed to roast the ingredients under “To be roasted in a little oil”

Step 6: Drizzle very little oil into the warm kadai and once again gently and separately roast the ingredients listed one by one

Step 7: You can club a few spices together such as the cloves, peppercorn, nagkesar etc

Step 8: Take them out in containers/wide plates and set them aside to cool

Step 9: Next, in a mixer-grinder, grind all the the dry roasted spices together in a batch

Step 10: Then grind all the ingredients roasted in oil together in another batch

Step 11: Ina large wide pan, mix the two batches of ground spices together

Step 12: Using a large spoon fold the mixture repeatedly so that the spices are uniformly blended

Step 13: Next, add in the chilli powder and salt

Step 14: If using turmeric powder add that too at this stage

Step 15: Mix well once again

Step 16: If you wish, you can once again place the mixed spices in the grinder and pulse once more to ensure perfect blend

Step 17: Empty the mixture into an airtight container and use it when making Maharashtrian Masale Baath, Dal Vangi and Moong Sprouts Usal
