Finally from my reader, Amita Bahl. She sent in two delicious sounding condiment. I was supposed to make them. Will surely do that soon.

Amita Bahl's The Multani Khatta Masala:

Ingredients Needed:

100  gms of red chillie powder.
100 gms of Dry Amchur powder
100 gms of Anardana powder
100 gms of Dry Ajwain powder
20/ 25 small round whole black pepper.
50 gms of salt

How to make Multani Khatta Masala
Mix all the ingredients together on a neat clean paper, fold the paper and roll a rolling pin over it to break the ingredients into smaller pieces.

How to use:

Different ways to use this masala:

1. Onions+ Tomatoes+ Coriander chopped+ Green chillies... all cut into thin slices
 Put this Multani khatta masala + nimboo juice + salt to taste

2. Make any dal. Finally sprinkle 1/2 - 3/4 tsp of this masala on top before serving

3. Make Mutton/ Chicken gravy the regular way you make
Sprinke the Khatta masala  on top before serving

4. While making aloo paratha/ Gobhi paratha/ muli paratha, add this masala to the other masala and make it as you normally make

Amita's Special condiment mix for salada/ Raita/ Taaza nimboo panee:

Three spoons of normal namak

Two spoons of Kala namak
Two spoons of Home made dried powdered pudhina
Two spoons of Roasted  jeera powder
Two spoons of kali mirch powder

 Mix all together on a plain paper.
 Fold the paper and roll the rolling pin over it, to smoothen out the rough roundels which will get powdered and smooth.

You may like to sieve it for a very fine texture.
Store this in an air tight container

Usage:
Sprinkle on Raita/ Salad

Add to the freshly made nimboo pani.
Add on to a mix of Nimboo pani along with Rooh -af--za......( Incase using this do not add sugar to the nimbo pani)

You can always make it in small quantities and bottle & jar it .
Making it every month freso retain the freshness.
Making it in large amount will loose the special flavour

Amita, thank you for sharing your wonderful condiment mix, I will surely make it soon and let you know!
