Key Questions Answered
To make homemade stuffed masala, you need whole coriander, cumin, fennel, mustard seeds, nigella seeds (kalonji), fenugreek seeds, dry mango powder (amchur), turmeric powder, asafoetida (hing), and salt to taste.
Heat a pan on low flame and lightly roast the whole spices by stirring continuously until aromatic, taking care not to burn them. Let them cool completely on a plate, then grind them coarsely in a mixer rather than making a fine powder.
Even if you are not making stuffed vegetables, you can add one to two spoons of this masala while cooking potatoes, dry okra, or other dry vegetables to give them a unique and tangy taste.
