what is fish masala and where do you get it in Mumbai?
ReplyDeleteFish masala is nothing but the dry spice mix you get from the grocery store. you will get it from any super market or grocery store. look for it in the masala or spices section. even if you don't find it there its easy to prepare...just dry roast some coriander seeds, dry red chilly, cumin seeds, fenugreek, black pepper & grind it o a powder. add a pinch of asafoetida.
