About Dabeli Masala Powder

Dabeli Masala Powder, also known as kutchi masala powder, is a sweet and spicy blend of aromatic spices that adds a lovely flavor to Dabeli, a popular Gujarati street food. It is made using simple pantry ingredients and comes together in under 25 minutes. Why make this masala at home when it’s easily available in the stores? You can use it to make Dabeli and many other recipes, such as pulao, pav bhaji, vada pav, chat, mixed vegetables, stir-fries, and more. These spices include whole coriander seeds (dhaniya beej), cumin seeds (jeera), white sesame seeds (til), fennel seeds (saunf), cloves (laung), black peppercorns(kali mirch), cinnamon (dalchini), star anise (chakri phool), dry red chilies, and bay leaves (tejpatta). Dry Coconut – It adds a coarse texture along with a coconutty taste. Spice Powders – You will need some basic spice powders such as black salt (kala namak), dry mango powder (amchoor), dry ginger powder (saunth), and Kashmiri red chili powder. Sugar – Powdered sugar balances the spice. Do not use confectioner’s sugar, sometimes called powdered sugar. It has cornstarch added to it which might alter the taste of this masala. Just grind the regular sugar in a grinder to powder it. Oil – I used sunflower oil, but you can use any neutral-flavored oil like canola oil, light olive oil, etc.
