Goda Masala

This homemade goda masala is a truly unique mix of ingredients! A flavourful blend of seeds, spices and coconut flakes, it's really easy to make and can be used in many of your Indian dishes.

Ingredients if using whole spices: (makes about 7-8 tbsp)

4 tbsp coriander seeds (cilantro)
2 tbsp coconut flakes
1 tbsp white or black peppercorns
4 tsp sesame seeds
4 tsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp cloves
1 x 3 inch piece of cinnamon
6 mace blades
8 dried bay leaves

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

  • Break up the cinnamon and mace blades and crumble the bay

  • Grind the mace, cinnamon and bay along with the sesame seeds, peppercorns, coriander, cumin, cloves and coconut

  • Sieve into a bowl

  • Stir in the chili powder. Combine thoroughly

    That's it!

    Store in an airtight container out of direct sunlight. Use within 3 months.

    Note: Note: I recommend dry toasting the cumin, cloves, peppercorns and coriander before grinding. This really enhances their flavours and aromas!

    How to Toast and Grind

    Dry toasting and grinding spices is the key to getting the most flavour out of your ingredients and into your home cooking...

    Step 1: Add your whole spices to a dry pan over a low to medium heat and whilst stirring or shaking the pan, lightly toast them for a few minutes. When you can really smell the aromas and they start to darken, they're ready.

    Step 2: Let them cool and then grind.

    Step 3: For a finer blend, put them through a sieve before combining with any ground ingredients and herbs.
