How To Make Milk Masala Powder?
Take nuts (almonds, cashews and pistachios) in a pan on medium-low heat. Dry roast for 3-4 minutes while stirring constantly.
Note: We are not looking for any colour change or roasted flavour. Remove it to a plate.
In the same pan, add green cardamoms and black pepper. Roast them by stirring constantly for around 3-4 minutes until you get an aroma of the spices.
Let them cool completely.
Once cooled, take that into the grinder jar. Add Saffron and turmeric powder.
Grate the nutmeg directly over the jar.
Start grinding in using the pulse button. Do not grind constantly to make a powder by pulsing it.
If ground constantly, the nuts will release their oil, and you will end up with lumpy powder.
Here, we are looking for dry powder.
