1. Bottle sealed and wrapped in cloth for better storage

Description:: In the final steps, the bottle is sealed with a cap, tightly wrapped in cloth and tied with a string. East Indian families recall a time not so long ago when they collected empty beer bottles to be repurposed for storing masala. Over time, glass bottles have been phased out and replaced with airtight containers, which can store larger quantities and are easy to stack. Bottles are still used, although sparingly.

2. Bottle Masala holds a special place in the East Indian Community

Description:: In addition to their signature bottle masala, Veera and Natasha Almeida make fish masala, puri masala, and indyal (vindaloo) masala.

7. Usage of wheat as an ingredient

Description:: Wheat is the only ingredient that is not a spice. It helps thicken the curry that the masala is used to cook. Some households might choose to use chana dal instead of wheat. Similar to the preparation of the spices, the dal is also dried and roasted.

8. Different types of chillies used to make the base

Description:: Each family uses different types of chillies to make the base. Kashmiri chillies are a staple in many dishes because of their deep red hue and ability to temper the heat without overpowering the dish. Other pungent chillies, including Resham Patti, Bedki, Bird’s Eye, and Sankeshwari, can also be used to make the base.

9. Spices laid out for drying in the courtyard of an East Indian residence

Description:: Spices are laid out for drying in the courtyard of Marthahil, a heritage home at Vasai that has been the residence of an East Indian family for more than 150 years. The masala-making season usually lasts from March until May. Earlier, drying spices in the open was a common sight in East Indian neighbourhoods, though the practice is declining as people nowadays opt to buy masala from the market.
