Ammiji’s Chai Masala – Classic
Related Product
Chholey are to Amritsar, what Dal Makhni is to Delhi. Every corner has an eatery that will serve kulcha-chholey, matthi-chholey or their own version of the traditional, masala-spiked Amritsari chholey. In Amritsar, when a woman is not in the mood to cook, she’ll just order in some chholey to go with roti or rice and serve up a delightful meal. When guests are over, it’s chholey that are put on the table first. Then it’s only understandable that Amritsaris have perfected the art of cooking chholey.
Ammiji has her own recipes for chholey. There’s the curry that goes well with rice, or the dry, spicy version she makes to go with halwa-puri. Or there’s this semi-dry version that can be had with kulchas, matthis, rotis or even rice – and that version is our particular favorite. Dunk a plain kulcha in, top it with some chutney and raw onions, and you’re in foodie heaven. Or heap the chholey onto a crisp, thin matthi and there, heaven again. This recipe calls for a ground masala, which Ammiji makes herself. After much bantering, we got her to divulge the details of the masala, and here it is!
This masala will add spice to your chholey, and a whole lot of tang; and flavours, layers of flavours, that will make you lick your bowl clean.
How to Use: Boil chholey. Don’t keep too much water since this masala is best in a semi-wet, lipta hua gravy. You can add the masala directly to the boiled chholey and let it simmer for a while. Or if you want to make it Ammiji’s way, make a tadka of onions, tomatoes, garlic and ginger, and add the masala to that before adding to the chholey. Let us know which way you prefer!
Add 1 tablespoon for about 100 gms of uncooked chickpeas.
Ingredients: Corainder, Cumin, Dry Mango, Caraway, Dry Ginger, Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg, Black pepper, Fenugreek, Hing, Salt.
Contains no onion or garlic. This masala is ground at home, using premium spices. Contains salt, so check before adding more.

What’s a Punjabi without paranthas? There are paranthas made of leftover dal for breakfast, aloo paranthas made for lunch and plain paranthas made to go with the masala mutton at night. And what stays constant in all these paranthas are the spices used.
Ammiji makes her own special blend of parantha masala. Having a masala ready saves times when you’re mixing the stuffing for paranthas and perks up plain namak-ajwain paranthas too. That’s what Ammiji says and we take her word as gospel.
The spices and herbs for this special masala are individually sun-dried and then ground coarsely. The end result is fragrant and will elevate your paranthas to that irresistible level.
How to Use: Add to the stuffing for stuffed paranthas. Knead into dough for dal or methi paranthas. Sprinkle while folding plain paranthas. Top tandoori rotis with this masala too!
Ingredients: Coriander, Cumin, Caraway, Fenugreek, Black Pepper, Red Chilli, Dry Mango, Dry Ginger, Pomegranate seeds, Clove, Mace, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Salt.
Contains no onion or garlic. This masala is ground at home, using premium spices. Contains salt, so check before adding more.

Ammiji likes her mirchi. She thinks bland food is the worst there is. She’s been known to spice up her plain raita with a spoonful of red chilli powder or add extra black pepper to her dal. For those who think she’s on the right track, here’s presenting a condiment that got the quickest nod of approval from her that we’ve ever got! 😉
Ammiji’s Bullet Mirchi is not a mere condiment – it’s a cross between a thecha, a dry powdered chutney or the sediment of a chilli oil. Red chillies are sun-dried at home and then stone-pounded with sun-dried garlic and peanuts with the aid of a little oil. There’s much deliciousness there. Also, much much fire. A quarter teaspoon is enough to have your socks rocking!
The first time we experimented with this recipe, we were literally blown away with the magic it added to our meals. Hence, the name. This is truly that blast you need to take your meals from the mundane to the oh-my-god-i-can’t-stop-eating level.
Works beautifully as a topping for snacks like vada pao, momos, grilled chicken, etc. Can also be added to marinades. Or we’ll tell you a secret – wrap it up in a parantha with a sabzi of your choice and watch the fire unfold!
Ingredients: Red Chilli, Garlic, Peanuts, Salt, Rock Salt, Curry Leaves, Mustard Oil.

Ammiji spends an hour or so in the kitchen every morning. She can’t stand straight because her back is bent, so she’ll perch upon a high wooden stool set directly in front of the stove, and set about making a dish or two for the day. Yes, she’s 90 but she cooks her own sabzis. When you offer to help her out in the kitchen, she’ll grudgingly let you, but only up till a point. When her sabzi or dal is almost ready, she’ll shoo you out on some pretext or the other, and proceed to turn the ordinary dish into one that’s really not ordinary.
It took us a while to catch on to her secret. A lot of failed conversations, a few grudging admissions and a whole lot of argument led us to wrangle the recipe out of her. And once made, we had the most fragrant spice blend imaginable. Was it a garam masala? Ammiji said it was. But this was no ordinary garam masala. It was garam and it was a masala, but we could have added a few superlatives in there.
A pinch of this extraordinary masala is all you need to make your dish sublime. This is rather unlike the garam masalas available in the market where you have to add at least half a teaspoon. This tiny jar will last you a long time. And we promise, you’ll be wanting another one when the jar threatens to be empty.
Ammiji’s garam masala is addictive. Whoever has used it has kept on using it. A caterer friend uses the masala in the dishes he sets up for events and parties, and he’s so happy with the result that he orders this by the kilo. Go ahead, see what the fuss is all about.
Ingredients: Cumin, Cinnamon, Piper Longum, Coriander, Black Cardamom, Clove, Star Anise, Stone Flower, Green Cardamom, Mace, Ginger, Red Chilli, Nutmeg, Rock Salt.
We use only top-notch, premium spices for all our spice blends. This is homemade in small batches and packed at home. No one outside Ammiji’s family is allowed to touch the garam masala when it’s being made – it’s that precious…
Ammiji’s favorite way to cook rice was what she called the Navrattan Pulao. Each time a meal was served for guests, we knew that the pièce de resistance was going to be carried in, demoulded on to a lavish platter. It was a cake of three differently coloured rice studded with fried paneer cubes, peas, carrots and cashews. And it smelled like the best corner of heaven!
That aroma of her Navrattan Pulao is what we’ve captured in this unique spice blend. From the humble cumin to the exotic kopec buds, each ingredient in this blend is blessed with Ammiji’s nod of approval.
Add this masala to whatever biryani you’re cooking, and we promise that the neighbors will know that you’re cooking biryani. Add it to your peas pulao, and enjoy the sweetness of peas against the earthiness of the spices. We’ve even added this masala to the humble khichdi – and with excellent results!
To use: Add 1-2 teaspoons per cup of rice to your biryani or pulao.
Ingredients: Cumin, Coriander, Fennel, Black Cumin, Cinnamon, Star Anise, Bay Leaves, Red chilli, Nutmeg, Kebabchini, Mace, Brown Cardamom, Green Cardamom, Clove, Black pepper, Stone flower, Kopec buds, Rose petals, Dehydrated onion, Garlic, Ginger, Turmeric, Saffron
Good for 6 months: Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
