BM #27 Day 11
Traditional Recipes : Maharashtra
After working on thalis for BM my family kind of got addicted to these and would want me to try different ones. My daughter was coming from Japan , so this was a good occasion to make a thali, I tried a Maharashtrian Thali , which might have been difficult to do without Pradnya’s help.
I prepared the famous Maharashtrian Goda masala a day before. This masala is a must to be used in various dishes.
Goda Masala
3 tsp dry grated coconut
3 tsp sesame seeds
20 dried red chillies
¼ cup coriander seeds
4 bay leaves
3 sticks cinnamon
7 black peppercorns
3 mace
4 tsp fried onion
Dry roast the coconut, sesame seeds, separately till pinkish brown.
Add a tsp of oil and fry the rest of the ingredients one by one, till they release a nice aroma.
Mix all ingredients with fried onion and grind to a powder.

Vaishali, if you want to store the goda masala, should we skip the onions and what are the dishes you suggest to use it?
Love the curry. It is made similarly I guess in the Mangalore region in Karnataka.
Suma, I made that powder and I was using it for more than three months..nothing went wrong!..only you must refrigerate.The Aaloo, aamti, baingan..all would need this masala.I am not very familiar with Manglore cuisine..so cant really say.
So goda masala goes in the shopping list :-). Wonderfully prepared thali and so nicely presented. Hats off to you….really!
