The multipurpose Mangalorean bafat masala is either a dry powder or paste version, This masala can be used for fish or chicken fry. If my mood permits I use it to grill veggies the spice blend is awesome has the right amount of heat and flavors. The paste version can be preserved in a airtight container refrigerated up-to 2 weeks.
We can also prepare a dry roast version do not add tamarind or vinegar for dry masala we need to add those just before marinating meats or veggies...If you dry roast all the spices and grind to powder format store in airtight container and refrigerate stays fresh till 4 weeks.
