Ever since the pandemic, the idea to walk the healthier path has been spreading like wildfire, especially among the youth. As a part of my healthier meal, I tried making my own spices in order to cut out any preservatives or adulteration. The process is quite simple, easy, and almost the same for all the spices that you’ll need for your meal. You will definitely be shocked to know that you can not only make your own masalas, but also make your own Pizza, Pasta and even your own Nacho seasoning that tastes scrumptious not just for your Indian based curries, but also for your multi-cuisine requirements! Although all the ingredients are natural and the process too, is quite easy to make, ensure to check once for allergies and make sure to store them all in an airtight container for best results.
