I find making masala blends to be very agreeable. As called for in our previous tikka masala curry recipe<\/a>, this spice mix not only gives a personal touch to the dish but it also makes it very unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its symphony of flavours and aroma, tikka masala curry definitely beckons your own blend of spices. The mix can be made in advance and stored in air tight jars for a few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole spices, which you would need to roast, would undoubtedly yield a livelier and fresher spice mix. For this you would require a spice mill or coffee grinder to grind the spices to a fine powder afterward. But using the powdered version of each spice makes it more convenient if you do not own a spice grinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this spice blend, paprika imparts the red colour which makes the dish appealing. However, Kashmiri chilli powder presents an ideal choice for the tikka masala mix. The best varieties are bright red and less pungent, lending a very vibrant red colour to the dish without too much heat. If you can find Kashmiri chilli powder, you may substitute the paprika with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I left out any hot chilli powder in this blend; you can add your own to taste depending on what you are using the masala for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blend makes 3 tablespoons of spice mix, enough for 2 curry servings. You can make a larger amount and store for later use if desired. It also makes a nice rub for baked tofu or roasted vegetable kebabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
