Dabeli masala is a special aromatic spice mix powder, with exploding flavours like sweet, spicy and tangy in every pinch of it. It was initially sold in Mandvi and Bhuj towns of Kutch region of Gujarat. Claims to be more authentic, still, Dabeli masala is now available everywhere under different brand names. Generally, people go with the store-bought version, just like pav bhaji masala. Like anyone else, rather than taking the toil and exerting myself, I also go for the store-bought version. Later, I realized what’s going inside the store-bought version, so many preservatives, stabilizers, flavoring and coloring agents. I pondered a lot and finally made up my mind to make a homemade version which saves your pocket and is absolutely healthy and hygienic as you are completely involved in the process of preparing and storing it. No unnecessary preservatives, colours and stabilizers. Each and every ingredient is controlled and monitored by you. Now you must be convinced by the perks of making homemade masala.
I wanted to convince my viewers and followers to make this recipe at home. Many would be sceptical to take efforts in making this masala at home. In order to encourage you to go for this homemade masala, I thought of adding few perks to it. Preparing such a laborious masala and confining it to a single dish doesn’t sounds good. Always Sinfully Desilicious never disappoints its followers, here I come up with my 3 creative dishes using this Dabeli masala thus transforming it into a versatile masala.
