Black or Kala Masala

If you have some fresh ground dried mango (amchur as it is called in India), Turkish bay leaves, black sesame seeds, star anise to grind and 10 other ingredients you can probably make this incredibly rich and complex blend. Or you can let me make it for you.

√ Use in place of any garam masala for the taste of western India.

√ Rub on fish before broiling or grilling.

√ Add to rice dishes.

This blend takes a bit of roasting, which is done the same day it is sent to you. $8 for a half cup includes shipping.
