Salan Masala ( سالن مصالحہ )

Salan Masala is a special spice blend used primarily to prepare flavorful and rich salan (gravy) dishes in South Asian cuisine. It typically combines spices like cumin, coriander, fennel seeds, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and sometimes dried red chili or turmeric. This masala adds a deep, aromatic, and slightly spicy taste to curries made with vegetables, meat, or lentils. It’s a key ingredient for making traditional dishes like nihari, haleem, or vegetable salans, giving them their characteristic robust and hearty flavor.
