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.
