Chinese 5 Spice Chinese 5 Spice
I had been wanting to post a separate recipe featuring this spice blend for quite a while. I finally have the chance to do so today and in my humble opinion, this is a very underrated spice blend. Which I always wonder why. Not only you can use this on various Chinese dishes, but you can also use it as a BBQ rub or even in cakes. Once you start making your own spice blend, you will never go back to those store-bought ones. Daniel Lim -

Kombdi Sukka (Dry Chicken Masala) Kombdi Sukka (Dry Chicken Masala)
#reststyleKombadi Sukka Masala is basically a dry chicken gravy from Maharashtra where some authentic, traditional spices are used in it’s preparation alongwith coconuts. This dish tastes absolutely delicious and different from the regular chicken curry. Traditionally it is relished with vade, a type of fried flatbread similar to puri but quite different from it in texture as well as taste. This is a dish found generally in restaurants serving Malvani food in Maharashtra!The Malvan region and Kolhapur in Maharashtra are famous for some of their masalas (spice powders) such as the Malvani Masala and the Kolhapuri Kanda Lasun Masala. When combined together in coconut based gravies, they impart a delicious flavour to any dish, though in some gravies they have to be used individually. These masalas are available in various stores in Maharashtra and online too and the recipes for the same too are available on the net. Pooja M. Pandit -
