Magic Masala, This is the traditional way of making pickle masala in Rajasthan. In this pickle masala, whole spices are used to enhance the taste of the pickle. It reminds us of the taste of our grandmother's (dadi and nani) homemade pickles.
The spices are carefully handpicked and sun-dried to preserve their natural oils and aroma.
Traditional grinding techniques, such as using a stone mortar and pestle, are employed to retain the authentic flavor and texture.
The blend typically includes mustard seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, nigella seeds, and red chili powder, creating a robust and tangy base for pickles.
A key feature of Rajasthani pickle masala is its use of pure mustard oil, which adds a distinctive sharpness and acts as a natural preservative.
Turmeric and asafoetida are added not only for their flavor but also for their health benefits, such as aiding digestion and boosting immunity.
