This mix is from Trinidad and uses many of the spices that are used for pickling in India. First they are lightly roasted releasing a heavenly aroma and giving them an intense flavor, then they are ground ready for the jar. Like Garam Masala in Indian food, Amchar Masala is often added to a dish at the end of cooking. So put some Bob Marley on the CD player and grind it like a Lion in Zion.
