So, they created an entire blend with us featuring their soul-spice + some fennel, cumin, and clove for a well-rounded Masala. In this recipe, Chef Mistry grills up some juicy burgers using their Smokey Black Cardamom Masala. Topped with a Raita-Slaw using fresh herbs, cucumbers, scallions, and yogurt, seasoned with cumin.

Spicewalla Fam on September 23, 2021 I tried a variant of the burgers — lamb meatballs, using the ginger and smokey cardamom-fennel blend. Sautéed them in ghee. Finished with a white wine reduction. The end result was delicious. I intend to try the original next time I have access to a grill.
