Indians love to eat spicy food in their meal. The spiciness in the food is added by using various types of spices. Different food uses different types of spices. The task of making dry spices at home is tedious, so readymade spices are generally used at our home which makes the task of preparing different recipes easy, simple and quick. Readymade Spices that is used to make various recipes at our home can also be made at home easily. We can prepare the Masala Powder at once and store in air tight container for later use also. I usually prepare few spices such as Biryani Masala, Sambhar Masala, Pav Bhaji Masala, Kadai Masala, etc. at home only.
