Masala Recipes: Preparing a meal from scratch is a centuries-old culinary tradition in India. Women would spend considerable amounts of time doing the prep for each Indian delicacy, and this is a custom still observed in various households across the country. Masalas used in curries and stir-fries are typically made with hands although some resort to ready-made condiments now, which are easily available in the markets . However, nothing can beat home-made masalas, especially the flavours they impart when they are freshly blended. These masalas can completely change the look and taste of the food. It does get easy to add ready-made masalas in the food considering the time constraints and busy lives that we lead. But worry not; we have picked 10 best simple masala recipes for the delicacies that are commonly cooked on a day-to-day basis. All you need to do is to keep your blender and said ingredients ready, and voila, your home-made masalas are ready to use.
