<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Short description|Indian spice mixture}}<br /> {{one source|date=April 2024}}<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Kala masala&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[spice mixture]] (&#039;&#039;masala&#039;&#039;) from the Maharashtra state of India. The [[Maharashtra]] region has a variety of &#039;&#039;masalas&#039;&#039; which distinguish Maharashtrian food from other aromas and flavours of India. Stronger and spicier flavours are significant aspects of Maharashtra. This special &#039;&#039;masala&#039;&#039; makes it easy to prepare Maharashtrian items like &#039;&#039;[[usal]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;varan&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;masale bhat&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> Some of the main ingredients of &#039;&#039;kala masala&#039;&#039; are [[cumin]] seeds, [[coriander]] seeds, [[clove]]s, [[cinnamon]] sticks, [[kalpasi|stone flower]], [[coconut]], [[sesame seed]]s and [[Chili pepper|chilli]]es. &quot;&#039;&#039;Kala&#039;&#039;&quot; means &quot;black&quot; in the [[Marathi language]] and this refers to both the colour of the final &#039;&#039;masala&#039;&#039; and the ingredients which it contains. Typically, it will be prepared from dark spices such as cloves and cinnamon and the spices will be roasted until they obtain a dark colour.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |title=50 Great Curries of India |author=Camellia Panjabi |publisher=Barnes &amp; Noble, Inc. |date=2007 |isbn=978-1435100923}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [https://madhurasrecipe.com/dipping-sides/kala-masala-marathi-recipe/ Kala Masala Recipe]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Maharashtrian cuisine]]<br /> [[Category:Masalas]]</div>
