Notes

Always store in a dry clean airtight container to increase its shelf life. Do not leave it open the aroma will easily get lost.
Roasting are done to bring out the aroma of the spices and to prevent the masala powder from getting spoil.
You can prepare this in bulk and store, but fresh masala taste too good.
