Masala is a common mixture of spices used in Indian cooking. Its origin is from the Hindustani मसाला / مسالا (masālā) "spice(s)" and the Persian word مصالح (maṣālih) "affairs, ingredients, mixture."

Masala is also an Italian (Sardinia) surname, in which case, the name was originally used as a pet name for Tommaso (Thomas.)

Indian cooking is both complex and simple at the same time. The spices we use differ as we travel the lengths and breadths of the country. The most common ingredients that are used in a basic veg curry are salt, turmeric powder, chili powder, ginger garlic paste, tomatoes, bay leaves, and garam masala.

I generally use chopped onions to thicken the gravy and add ginger garlic paste for that extra zing. I generally choose organically grown vegetables and organic masalas as they are healthier and tastier. If you are looking for masalas with 0 additives and 100% taste, I’d recommend choosing Organic Tattva’s organic masalas; they taste amazing and add a wonderful aroma to your vegetable curries. Organic Tattva’s organic masalas are available at all leading supermarkets and e-commerce websites.
