KOLHAPURI MASALA


Cloves ............... 12
Cinnamon ........ 2 inch piece
Black pepper .... 1/2 tsp.
Mace .................. 1 full piece
Coriander seeds ..1 tsp.
Bay leaf ............... 1
Poppy seeds.......... 2 tsp. (Khus khus)
Cumin seeds .......... 1/4 tsp.
Fennel seeds .......... 1/2 tsp. (saunf)
Star anise ................ 1 piece
Cardamoms ............ 2-3
Dry red chillies ........ 7-8
Dry coconut ............. 1 tbsp. (Dessicated)
Oil to roast ............ 1tsp.
Roast and dry grind to a coarse powder.
This is a closer version of the Kolhapuri masala. The original one has few more spices, which are difficult to get outside Maharashtra. However this spice blend is equally good for Kolhapuri dishes.

thanks for sharing the recipe in making masala. This will save me from searching for it as it's not sold commonly here except in the specialty shop.
