Garam Masala (aroma resembles but lacks the coarse gritty texture)

Kadai Chicken, Kadai Paneer, Bell pepper stir-fries

Trivia

[Hardcore] While regular Garam Masala is 'fine powder', Kadai Masala is a spice for enjoying 'graininess (texture)'. Especially coriander seeds chunked in just halved states; biting them explodes citrus aroma in the mouth. Abnormally compatible with bell peppers.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Usage] When a regular curry's taste blurs, sprinkle this coarse Masala at the end and re-fry briefly, forcibly adding the 'punchy savoriness' unique to restaurants!
