Kitchen King Masala powder
Even though several brands of Kitchen King Sabzi masala is available in the market , it is a good idea to make some at home as it is very easy and you can powder a fresh stock from time to time , you can also add or skip any ingredient , increase or reduce the quantity of ingredients suitable to your preference .
By referring to the list of ingredients mentioned in the ready made pack I have tried my home made variety of Kitchen King Masala and it is very versatile too .
