Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin powder
- 1 tablespoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder or use paprika * See notes
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder
Instructions

Notes
- Kashmiri chili powder is available at most Ethnic or Desi grocery stores. It is used to give a brighter red color to recipes. Can't find it? Use paprika instead.
- I have intentionally omitted the salt in this spice mix so that you can control the amount of sodium in your recipe.
