Pickle Masala
- Pickle masala has a complex and warm aroma with notes of mustard, fennel, fenugreek, chilies, and other spices depending on the specific blend.
- The flavor profile is typically savory, slightly pungent, and can range from mild to spicy depending on the chili pepper used. Hints of sweetness, bitterness, and earthiness may also be present.
- The spices in pickle masala can be whole, coarsely ground, or finely ground. Whole spices offer a more gradual release of flavor, while ground spices disperse their flavor more intensely.
- Pickle masala varies in color depending on the ingredients used. It can range from a light brown or yellow to a reddish-brown due to the presence of turmeric or chili peppers.
