We suggest using both split fenugreek seeds and split mustard seeds. But if you wish, you can make with only split fenugreek seeds.

This is one of my favourite masalas. I often apply them on khakhras or have it with parathas for breakfast. I used to buy it readymade but after looking at this recipe, i made it at home as it so simple and quick. It is also less bitter compared to what you get readymade. It is delicious.

Great Gujarati Sambar which goes well with anything from subzis to rotis to raita. Just mix it up. The addition of salt to chilli powder reduces the spice level. A must have on every Guju dinner table.

A staple at home, we actually add a 1/2 tsp of this to a small katori of dahi and have as accompaniment with adai, dosa, chilla and rava kozhakattai.... the only problem has been finding rai ni kuria, but now I buy in bulk and freeze it! The best ever comfort food! One difference: I don;t bother to heat and cool the oil. I use sarson ka teyl (mustard oil) and use it raw as we love the smell of mustard.
