goda masala is one of the Maharashtrian style garam masala with many universal characteristics. One of our customer in the USA used it to make Butter Nut Squash curry. Yum! They said. Another customer made Bengali dal using this Marathi masala. Yum! Again. goda masala is one of the many products that we make that have unlocked regional cuisine potential and made its features available to the world. But first try out the delectable Marathi masale bhaat or the bharleli vangi, before you migrate the masala to non-Marathi cuisine.
