Did you know masala is a term used for any spice mix? That’s it! You are forgiven if you previously thought it was a particular food or a certain group of spices. The word masalah in Hindi and Urdu, comes from the Arabic masalih. A masala can be any combination of dried spices, or even a paste made from a mixture of spices. You might be familiar with the paste concept at the grocery store with the ingredients like garlic, chilli, and tomato pastes. Some examples of a dried spice mixture would be curry powder, chili powder, and any seasoned salt. Masalas are used in Indian cuisine to add flavor and spice to a dish. Familiar masalas such as Tikka Masala, Curries and Masla chai. Much of the Indian subcontinent also uses spice mixes in their cooking.
