Black Masala is a traditional spice blend made from a mix of roasted and ground spices, including black cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, cumin, coriander, and dried coconut. Originating from Maharashtra, particularly in Kolhapuri cuisine, this masala adds depth, smokiness, and heat to dishes like curries, stews, and meat preparations. Its bold and earthy flavor enhances the taste of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, making it a staple in many Indian households. Besides its culinary use, Black Masala is also known for its digestive benefits and ability to boost metabolism.
