Hara Masala (green spice mix)

By Petrina Verma Sarkar, About.com

This masala is perfect as a base for fish and chicken curries. My favourite green masala dish? Fish marinated in green masala, then wrapped in banana leaves and steamed!

Ingredients:

  • 2 big bunches of coriander (remove roots)
  • A bunch of mint leaves
  • 1 large pod of garlic (10-15 cloves)
  • Thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger
  • Green chillies according to taste
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 sticks of cinnamon (2" each)
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 6 cloves

Preparation:

  • Grind all the ingredients into a smooth paste. Add water only if required to facilitate grinding.
  • This recipe makes approximately 2 cups of masala.
