Ingredients.
You will need very few ingredients that will already be available in your pantry – cumin seeds, whole black peppercorns, fennel seeds, cinnamon, salt, dry mango powder (amchoor), and Kashmiri red chili powder.
How To Make Sandwich Masala
Dry roast ¼ cup cumin seeds, 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, 1 tablespoon fennel seeds, and a 2-inch piece of the cinnamon stick over low heat until slightly fragrant (4-5 minutes).
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 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon dry mango powder, and 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder and grind to make a smooth powder.
Store in an airtight container. Use as required.
Usage Suggestions
You can sprinkle a little of this spice mix on the stuffing of your sandwiches. It tastes the best when sprinkled on potato stuffing, paneer stuffing, cucumber, or even cheese.
It can also be sprinkled over a bowl of grilled veggies or potatoes. You can also add a little to your paratha stuffing.
Storage Suggestions
Store it in an air-tight container at room temperature for about a month. Make sure to use a clean and dry spoon to take the masala out and close the jar with a lid tightly again.
