Dhansak masala is a special spice mix powder from the Parsi cuisine. A combination of locally available whole spices, powdered into a flavorful mix. It is commonly used to prepare authentic Parsi delicacies. While you may find ready-to-use options of dhansak masala in your grocery store, but nothing beats the aroma of fresh spices blended at home. Plus it has the advantage of being preservative-free!
