Dabeli Masala is the main ingredient of Kutchi Dabeli or so called Dabeli. It is easily available in the market. But Homemade Dabeli Masala Powder is different. The taste of the homemade dabeli masala powder is aromatic and flavourful. It is a Gujarati Masala which has its origination from Kutch in Gujarat. So people also call it as Kutchi Dabeli Masala. Different people from different region prepare it in different ways. Only one or two spices differ. Today we will be preparing the traditional and authentic Dabeli Masala. We use it to prepare Dabeli.

The taste and ingredients of this recipe can be better understood by whom better than the people of Gujarat and Maharashtra. I am in Gujarat now and I have found the secret of this masala from one of my friend. So I decided to share the secret of it. I would request you to give a try and share your experience. This Masala is used to make the popular Gujarati snack, Dabeli, where potato mixture is mixed with the Masala Powder and is sandwiched between the pav.

People prepare this Masala in different ways. Addition of few ingredients changes the flavor and aroma of it. Some people skip the addition of sugar. But I would suggest you to add it. This Homemade Masala is in dry form. Store it in tight container in freeze so that it lasts for many months. To use the masala, first add Sweet Chutney to it. Then mix it with potatoes to make the filling of the Dabeli Recipe. Here I have not added Grated Coconut, but if you want you can add it to enhance the taste. Please visit Dabeli Recipe.

There are various spices that we find in the market which makes our task of preparing different recipes easy and quick. It reduces our task of adding different spices individually. However there are various spices which are adultered and are not pure. Here comes handy our Homemade Masala. It is pure, aromatic and tasty and is also hygienic. At my home I prefer not to use spices bought from the market and I mostly use spices that I make at home. I would suggest you to make spices at your home only. Prepare it once and store it properly to use in any type of recipes.
