Kadhai Masala (Spice Mix)

Kadhai Masala is the basis of all kadhai preparations and this masala can be made and stored in containers for future use, but obviously nothing better than using freshly ground masala in your recipes. There has been already a lot of stuff said and written on these Kadhai (Indian Wok) dishes so I  really won’t spend much of the time writing anything more about it, plain simple post of the day. Enjoy!!!
