Famous spice blend originating from Northern India, despite its name, which loosely translates to hot spice powder, it is spicy and not hot. It combines the aroma of green cardamom, with the pungency of Malabar pepper and the fermented earthy taste of black cardamom. It also contains cumin, coriander, caraway, cinnamon, and clove. It pairs well with legumes, oily dishes, lamb, goat, pork, chicken, and vegetables with eggplants or potatoes.
