I am making this sandwich masala powder at home since past 4 years. Earlier I was making sandwiches without this masala and it was tasting good. But after sprinkling this masala into the sandwich, it tastes better, much much better. So from then I am in love with this masala. I never make any sandwich without this masala. I have already shared this recipe in my veg grilled sandwich recipe. But I wanted to make the separate post for it. So I can show my love for it. It is must for me. And you should give it a try. I got this recipe from Tarla Dalal’s cookbook Mumbai’s Roadside Snacks. Check out other homeade spice powdersGaram masala // Pav bhaji masala // Rasam powder // Sambar powder
Step By Step Photo Instructions:
- Take whole spices (cumin seeds, fennel seeds, cloves, peppercorns and cinnamon stick) in a pan. Turn the heat on low-medium.
- Dry roast them with stirring continuously. Roast it for about 5 minutes, or till you get nice aroma of spices. Then turn off the stove.
- Remove the spices to a plate. and let it cool down completely. Add black salt and amchur powder.
- Once spices are cooled, take into the dry spice grinder or blender. Make fine powder out of it. Store in airtight container. Use as needed. Shelf life: It stays fresh for 7-8 months in airtight container at room temperature. Always use clean spoon (not wet) to get the powder out of the jar. Otherwise it reduces the shelf life. Serving suggestion: It is used while make sandwiches like grilled sandwich, masala toast sandwich. Just sprinkle a little bit of masala inside the sandwich, it tastes fabulous.
