yapp, it’s about masala again, traditional Indian spice mixes that just go with anything and spice up your life. chili, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, pepper are common ingredients and I suggest you decide yourself which of the ingredients you like, which best go with your stomach or diet and also how much you want to use, just be creative. for a bowl of coleslaw that serves at least 2 as a main dish you need: 1 crushed clove of garlic 1 tsp turmeric powder ½ tsp cinn
