Ingredients of Goda masala :

Sesame seeds (Til) - half bowl
Dried coconut - desiccated - half bowl
Coriander seeds (Dhane, dhania)- 3 bowls
Cumin (Jira, Jeera)- half bowl
Black cumin (Shahajire)- 1 Tbsp
Black stone flower (Dagadphool) - 3 Tbsp
Cinnamon (Dalchini) - 5-6 sticks
Cloves (Lavang, Laung) - Tbsp
Black Cardamom (Masala Velchi, Kali elaichi) - 4 pieces
Black pepper (Kali miri) - 2 spoons
Fenugreek seeds (Meth- dane) - 1 spoon
Bay leaf (Tamalpatra, Tejpatta) - 6 leaves
Asafoetida 
Salt, Oil, Turmeric, Red chili powder (I prefer it over dried red chilis)

Recipe of Kala masala :

  • Dry roast sesame seeds. Dry roast desiccated dry coconut. Roast separately. 
  • In a little oil, saute each of the remaining ingredients separately.
  • Saute coriander seeds at last.
  • Ensure nothing is over burned. That may spoil the aroma.
  • Move on to the grinder. Grinding everything together is a bad idea and it spoils the taste.
  • Grind cumin seeds at first, followed by others. Powder Separately
  • For tempering, take oil, add mustard seeds, asafoetida, turmeric. Take off the heat and then add red chili powder.
  • Mix the tempering all all the powders and with a little help of mixer, mix everything well. 
  • Little bit of salt increases its shelf life.
  • Always use air tight glass container to maintain the aroma.
