Vitamins & minerals
Kashmiri Masala is a spice blend and doesn't contain significant amounts of vitamins. However, the constituent spices contribute trace amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and various B vitamins. Specifically, chili powder provides some Vitamin C, and turmeric contains some Vitamin B6.
How to choose
When selecting Kashmiri Masala, look for a vibrant red color, indicating good quality chili powder. The aroma should be fragrant and complex, with notes of chili, cardamom, and cloves. Check the ingredients list to ensure it doesn't contain excessive fillers or artificial colors. A good blend will have a balanced flavor profile – not overly spicy, but with a warming heat. Consider buying from reputable spice merchants or brands.
How to store
Store Kashmiri Masala in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. Exposure to light, heat, and moisture will degrade the flavor and color. Avoid storing it near the stove or dishwasher. Properly stored, it can retain its flavor for 6-12 months. It's best to use it within a year for optimal flavor.
