    About This Recipe

    Sandwich Masala is a spice mix that is sprinkled over Mumbai-style sandwiches to take their taste to the next level. It is a spicy and tangy spice mix made with just 7 ingredients in under 15 minutes.

    Just a little sprinkle of this masala over the stuffing of your sandwiches will take you right to the streets of Mumbai.

    This masala is easily available in the stores these days but making it at home has many advantages.

    1. It is much economical.
    2. Made using best quality ingredients.
    3. Homade spice mix has no added colors or preservatives.

    Ingredients.

    Sandwich masala 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).

    Spices added to a pan.

    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.

    Roasted spices.

    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.

    Spices transferred to a blender along with the remaining ingredients.

    Store in an airtight container. Use as required.

    Ready sandwich masala.

    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.
