Bisi bele bath masala powder Fresh or Bulk

The Bisi bele bath masala powder can be prepared fresh or in bulk and stored in an air tight container. I always make a batch ready for next 2-3 meals, which can be consumed in next 2-3 months as it is not a regular meal in my house. I would advise to make Bisi bele bath masala powder in small batches as they are best when they are fresh and might loose some aroma over a period of time. But they are the best when you make them home.

Making fresh masala’s at home is easy and not a laborious process. I understand gathering the ingredients feels like a daunting task, but believe me once you start making your own masala’s you would not want to buy the store bought one’s.

This Bisi bele bath masala powder uses a few basic ingredients which are generally available in every Indian pantry. It is a matter of gathering them in the exact ratio, roasting it slowly and then grinding. Freshly made masala’s is ready in less than an hour.

I made this Karnataka style Bisi bele bath first time last year and we were in love with this flavourful one pot nutritious meal. A bit of planning and time is needed in this recipe, but it is surely a winner. I have followed the recipe from here.
