We pride ourselves on bringing you the purest, freshest spices from Maharashtra, crafted to enrich your meals with authentic flavours. Here are five delightful recipes from Maharashtra that you can easily make at home using Munje Masale spices.
1. Kolhapuri Misal Pav (Kala Masala) Kolhapuri Misal Pav is beloved for its fiery flavour and satisfying combination of spicy sprouts curry, topped with farsan, and onions, and served with fluffy pav. Munje’s Kala Masala, with its smoky and robust taste, adds an authentic Kolhapuri kick. Simply sauté onions and tomatoes, add sprouts, and Munje Kala Masala, simmer and serve hot with pav.
2. Nashik-style Bharli Vangi (Garam Masala) Nashik is famous for its Bharli Vangi—tender brinjals stuffed with aromatic spices and cooked slowly. Munje Garam Masala lends a rich fragrance and depth of flavour. Prepare a stuffing of roasted peanuts, coconut, and Munje Garam Masala, stuff into brinjals, and cook gently until soft. Enjoy this classic with fresh chapatis or rice.
3. Nagpuri Patodi Rassa (Red Chilli Powder) Patodi Rassa, a speciality from Nagpur, combines spicy chickpea flour cakes simmered in a vibrant, fiery gravy. Munje Red Chilli Powder provides the perfect heat and colour. Prepare chickpea flour cakes, fry lightly, and simmer in an onion-tomato-based gravy seasoned generously with Munje’s chilli powder for an authentic Nagpuri experience.
4. Pune-style Kanda Poha (Turmeric Powder) Kanda Poha is an iconic Maharashtrian breakfast, especially popular in Pune. Light, flavourful, and nutritious, Munje’s Turmeric Powder brings its bright golden hue and subtle flavour. Simply sauté mustard seeds, onions, green chillies, and curry leaves, add rinsed poha with Munje Turmeric Powder, and garnish with fresh coriander and lemon.
5. Mumbai-style Pav Bhaji (Garam Masala + Dhane Powder) Mumbai's beloved street food, Pav Bhaji, is a comforting blend of vegetables mashed into a delightful medley, served with buttered pav. While traditionally made using a special masala blend, you can achieve a delicious homemade version by using Munje Garam Masala along with a touch of Dhane Powder. Cook mixed vegetables until tender, mash and season with these spices and butter, and serve piping hot.
