    Hi Ladies,

    I bought a couple of masala powders a while ago and transferred the contents to a bottle. Now, I forgot what that masala is.. :( can you please help in identifying the same?

    1- looks like our idli podi and has a strong smell (I am thinking this should be channa masala)
    2- It looks greenish like coriander powder, smells a bit like shikakai (i know!!) and tastes tangy. Do you guys have any idea what it could be??

    Please help me out..else I got to throw it out! :(

    Please let me know if you need me to post pics of those too!

    Thanks in advance!!

    by the way i faced a similar situation as well.. not able to identify which powder it was, and finally I found out that it was coriander powder itself. I was confused by it's color. My first instinct was to post in IL

    If its tangy and also greenish in colour, it could be JALJEERA MIX or PANIPURI water mix
