How To Make Sandwich Masala
Add the following ingredients to a pan and dry roast over low heat until slightly fragrant (4-5 minutes), stirring frequently.

Remove the pan from heat and let the spices cool completely.
Note – If the spices are not cooled completely, they might release some oil while grinding, making the grinding difficult.
Transfer them to a grinder or a small food processor along with the following ingredients and grind to make a smooth powder.
