MEAT STEW SPICE MIX (NIHARI MASALA)





This spice blend is made using 18 different ingredients, yes 18. It is a very versatile spice mix can be used for making slow cooked meat stews whether it is lamb, mutton, beef, or chicken.

8 tbsp coriander seeds

6 tbsp fennel seeds

4 tbsp cumin seeds

2 tbsp green cardamoms

2 tbsp carom seeds

4 tbsp cloves

8 black cardamom

2 sticks of cinnamon, 2-inches each

2 tbsp carom seeds

4 bay leaves

8 star anise

2 tbsp Kashmiri chilli powder

2 tbsp Deghi chilli powder

2 tbsp dry ginger powder

1 tbsp turmeric powder

½ tsp nutmeg powder

½ tsp mace powder

2½ tbsp ground Himalayan salt. If you don’t have Himalayan salt, use regular salt

1 Add the whole spices to a spice grinder and grind to a fine powder. If spice grinder cannot accommodate all whole spice, grind in batches.

2 Put the ground whole spices in a airtight container. To these ground spices, add all the powdered ingredients. Close the lid of the airtight container and shake to make sure all the spices are well mixed.

3 You will need about 4 tbsp of the spice mix to stew 2 lb of meat. Store the spice mix in the airtight container in a cool place. It will remain fresh for about 6 months. I like to store the spice mix in a refrigerator.
