Spice Blends

Creating your own spice blends at home is a wonderful way to enhance the flavor and taste of your dishes. Keeping these blends handy can easily prepare your favorite meals quickly. I usually make larger batches that last up to a month and store them in airtight containers. The best part is that you can customize the blends and add a unique twist to any dish you prepare.

While certain spices, such as sambar powder are used in cooking, others, like chutney powder, are commonly used as accompaniments. By stocking up on freshly made spice blends, you can add new flavors to your meals in a breeze. Knowing the exact ingredients in your homemade masalas also gives a sense of satisfaction, and cooking a dish from scratch using these spice mixes can be a truly rewarding experience.
