I am making a bunch of these very often, because this masala is not only very flavourful, it is very versatile and used in anything. I am cooking a lot of gujarati foods recently from this book. This masala is a basic for those cooking, i make a batch of these and store it in freezer.
It stays fresh and flavourful for few months.I made gujarati chicken curry few days back, will post that today so stay tuned for that.
Ingredients:
Ginger - 1 cup peeled and cut into pieces
Garlic - ½ cup peeled

@Venkata Naga Mallika Killamshettyno lemon juice should be used
