Goan green masala

One of the most liked masala in Goan homes, every Goan household has its own version of green masala, some add onions, some add coriander, some add vinegar, I am sharing my version of green masala which I learnt from my mom, which can be used for a variety of dishes

Ingredients:

15 green chillies

10 cloves of garlic

1 1/2 “ginger

1 tsp poppy seeds

1 tsp cumin seeds

15 peppercorns

1 ball of tamrind

12 cloves

1” cinnamon

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp sugar

Method:

👉Grind all the above ingredients in a blender with little water to a fine paste

👉Once done grinding, remove the masala paste in a bowl and add 1/2 tsp turmeric powder to it. I dint add the turmeric powder while grinding cause its gives a nice colour when you add later

👉Store this paste in a jar in the fridge...you need to store this masala in the fridge as I dint add vinegar to it, you can add vinegar when you make meat dishes...

👉Use whenever necessary for meats or fish
