Description

Maharashtrian Kanda Lasun Masala is a traditional spice blend originating from the state of Maharashtra in India. “Kanda” refers to onion, and “Lasun” means garlic in Marathi, the language spoken in Maharashtra. This masala is characterized by its robust flavor profile, combining the sweetness of caramelized onions with the pungency of garlic and an array of spices. It typically includes ingredients like dried red chilies, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns, and sometimes grated coconut. It’s used to add depth and complexity to Maharashtrian cuisine, particularly in dishes like Misal Pav, Usal, or even simple stir-fries and curries.
