Alterations
We will not use any color or preservative in this tandoori masala because these two things are harmful to health. Remember that Kashmiri red chillies are less intense in taste, so add twice as much Kashmiri red chillies as you reduce the amount of chillies. If you want to take the tandoori masala to the prime level, use black cumin instead of white cumin, it will enhance the spice aroma. |
