Thankyou Anuja, I have been frantically searching everywhere in Pakistan this masala had many people bring me from kenya and Sri Lanka but they got the tea with masala rather then just the masala. Finally geared up to mix one myself and followed your recipe. To begin with I used everything already powdered and just measured and blended them. They tasted fine, but is that OK to do, or much we use whole spices. Farah Kamal

In reply to komal fasale. Yes, Komal, there are lots of variations to this recipe. You can add in other spices that you like.

In reply to Lisa.

Hi Lisa,

Yes, the skin is very easy to remove – gently bash the pods with a pestle or a rolling pin. The skin will crack open and you can then take seeds out.
It is better to get the pods and take the seeds out and use them as opposed to buying the seeds, they are stronger and more potent.
