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!

- 1 bunch of mint leaves (approximately 100 gms/ 0.22 lbs)

- 3" piece of fresh ginger
- Green chillies 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.
