Storage Instructions

Store Badshah Madras Sambar Masala in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight or excessive heat. Once opened, close or transfer contents from pack tightly or transfer to an airtight container to preserve aroma and flavour for as long as possible.

Avoid placing masala near the stove where steam and oil could enter its container, taking care to use only dry spoons when taking out powder to prevent moisture entering and potentially leading to clumping or loss of fragrance over time.

How to Use 

For an authentic sambar dish, home chefs commonly begin by first softening toor dal (pigeon pea lentils). Meanwhile, they heat oil, add mustard seeds, curry leaves and veggies such as drumstick, brinjal or gourd to saute before adding water and boiling until partially cooked vegetables appear before stirring in Badshah Madras Sambar Masala before simmering together with toor dal, cooked toor dal and tamarind pulp before simmering all together until fully combined and all flavors blend in together for optimal flavor profiles!

Add this masala directly to boiling dal and vegetable mixture around the middle of cooking to adjust according to taste. Each pack comes with a "best before" date; similar masala powders typically last 12-18 months from packaging when stored in cool and dry environments, for best aroma and color results; it would be wise to open another pack immediately if weak smell or major texture change arise.

Badshah Masala was launched under Jhaveri Industries in 1958 in Mumbai as a spice operation, but has grown into one of India's premier spice brands with numerous blends for regional dishes like pav bhaji, chana masala and kitchen king masala, with constant research and testing into perfect blends for these popular recipes.
