Homemade Maharastrian Malvani Masala Recipe

http://indiankhanna.blogspot.com/2013/04/homemade-maharastrian-malvani-masala.html
Malvani masala comes from Malvan a town in the Sindhudurg district on the west coast of Maharashtra but being on coastal area in konkon malvani cuisine is infused from Konkani, Maharastrian and Goan cuisines and that's the reason most of the Malvani cuisine used coconut, coconut milk, tamarind, mango, kokam etc.  Malvani masala is like garam masala made in Malvan region and mostly used in non-vegetarian recipes but also used in vegetarian recipes too.

Basic ingredients are used in malvani masala other than Stone Flower (dagad phool) and Nagkeshar, both thespices are available easily so don't worry about it.  I ran out of stone flower so I didn't use in this.  You can find all the spices in mustafa in case you are looking for it.  This is a very flavorful masala, the aroma is just too overwhelming.  Normally I make these kind of masala in small quantity cause it's not daily that I am cooking Malvani cuisine right? So small quantity works for me to use 3-4 times or sometimes I use this in place of garam masala in my recipes.  I clicked this final pictures of masala more than a month later (at last I clicked it before it's get's over) but still it's so aromatic and fragrant even after storing in room temperature.  I will post recipes using this flavorful Malvani Masala soon until then it's Malvani Masala for you.
