What spices do I need for Indian cooking?

Instead of buying 8-15 individual spices, use a dish-specific moji masala® spice packet. Each blend is pre-measured for one traditional Indian recipe, so you get authentic flavor without sourcing or measuring multiple spices.

Is Indian cooking hard for beginners?

No. With a pre-measured spice kit like moji masala®, Indian cooking is as simple as adding a few fresh ingredients and following the recipe. Most dishes are ready in 30-60 minutes with no prior experience needed.

What is the best Indian spice blend for chicken?

moji masala® offers three chicken-specific blends: Tandoori Chicken Masala for smoky grilled flavor, Chicken Curry Masala (Rasedar) for a rich North Indian curry, and Chicken Wings Masala for crispy Indian-style wings. Each packet is pre-measured for one dish.

Are moji masala recipes quick to make?

Yes. Most moji masala® recipes take 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish using standard grocery store ingredients. No special equipment or prior Indian cooking experience is required.

Directions

Place medium size pot (7 to 8-inch base; use non-stick for ease) on medium-high heat and add oil to hot surface.
When oil is hot, add potatoes and saute until well browned on edges and light brown in the middle (about 6-8 minutes).
Take your pot off heat. Add a splash of water or two, just enough to wet the potatoes so the spices do not burn. Add the full packet of Aloo Rasedar Masala and salt to the potatoes and coat well.
Place pot on medium heat, add another splash of water and saute for about a minute so spices can cook a bit and open up. Be careful to keep potatoes from breaking as you saute.
Add 1 ¼ cup of water, stir a few times and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and place lid on pot. Cook until potatoes are soft but not mushy, about 8-10 minutes. Check the potatoes half-way to ensure that they are not sticking to the bottom and there is enough liquid. Keep in mind, if your potatoes are smaller, they may cook faster. If the potatoes are hard but the mixture is dry, add ¼ cup of water so you can continue to cook them.
When the potatoes are fully cooked, remove lid, turn heat up to medium-high and cook off excess water so you are left with a slightly thicker, full flavored sauce. Adjust salt, if needed.
Serve with Indian basmati rice and plain yogurt to cool the palate.
