ReplyDeleteI'll bet this Masala makes wonderful fish.
ReplyDeleteSneha my sister in law cooks fish often and uses a lot of fish masala. However she was complaining that the ready made masala lacks flavour. Now I have a foolproof recipe. Going to make it and give it to her as a present.
ReplyDeleteSo many great flavors and spices in your spice mix, Sneha! Your fish looks perfect!
