Recipe for Goan Green Masala Paste without Coconut
This recipe is a simple, light recipe which can be used with fish for a flavorsome Fish Guisado(A light fish curry without coconut) or you can use his masala to make a Fresh Bombay Duck Xec Xec. My Mum uses this simple light masala to make a Pomfret Guisdaso especially when one is sick at home as it is light on the stomach, yet it has all the spices like Cumin, Turmeric, Garlic that act as a natural cure for infections too. You can make this Masala and freeze it and use it as and when you like.
Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups Fresh Coriander with stem
- 2 Green Chillies(or as per your preference)
- 6 Medium sized Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece of Ginger (or you can add 1.5 Tspn Gingergarlic paste if you wish)
- ½ Tspn Turmeric Powder
- ½ Tspn Dry CorianderSeeds
- 1 Tspn Cumin Seeds
- ½ Small Tomato(optional)
- ½ Small Onion (roughly diced)
- 2 Tspn Vinegar or Tamarind Pulp
- ½ Tspn Sugar or 1 Tspn Jaggery
- 1 Tbspn Water for grinding (only if required)
Instructions
- Transfer all the ingredients into a small(dry) mixer jar
- Using water little by little, Grind all the ingredients into a smooth fine paste. Note: If you add all the water at once, the spices won’t break down completely and the Masala will remain coarse.
- Once the Masala is ready, you can use it immediately or If you wish to store it, transfer the Masala into a dry Airtight container and wait until it completely cools and comes to room temperature and only then put the lid onNote: As soon as you grind masala in a mixer jar, it remains slightly hot/warm due the pressure and speed of the grinder. After transferring the Masala into the jar/container, If you close the jar/container when the masala is hot or even slightly warm, there is a high chance that the masala get spoilt faster due to the heat. Hence, let it come down to room temperature and only then close the lid tightPlace the container/jar into the Deep Freezer and you can store it for Maximum 1month.
