Goda Masala is a famous Maharashtrian spice blend. It is made with whole lot of ingredients but the distinct aroma of masala comes from dagad phool (stone flower). Goda masala gives an unique flavour to sabzis and curries. It can be called the Maharashtrian version of garam masala. Every household has its own recipe for making goda masala with slight variation in ingredients and the proportion used. The recipe which I am sharing today is one of my Maharashtrian friend’s family recipe. Here is the recipe to make Goda masala:
