Punjabi masala is the masala of the Punjab region, in the northwest of India, south of Kashmir in the far north. It is a 'warm' masala, which although not generally spicy, is often enriched with mustard (seed) and a fiery guntur chili, in our case with a chili of the teja variety.

This chili, the Capsicum annuum var punjab tej, is grown in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh. It is an aromatic and pungent chili pepper, containing 1.3% capsaicin, and has a Scoville score of 50,000 to 170,000 SHU.

Punjabi cuisine is a cuisine specific to the Punjab, which lies on both sides of the border with Pakistan. Punjab is known for its tandoori and Basmati rice. The taste palette is buttery, because the Punjabi - mainly farmers - are fond of milk, buttermilk and ghee. Famous is Sarson ka saag, a vegetarian dish of leafy vegetables, mainly mustard leaves (saag), but also the leaves of the goose foot, spinach, radish or fenugreek, served with butter and a large glass of buttermilk!

Smell and taste

Punjabi masala is warm and spicy and quite 'hot' compared to garam masala. Dishes in which it is used are paneer lababdar (cheese with cream and cashew nuts), bhindi masala (okra with onion and garlic), rajma masala (red kidney beans with tomato, ghee and cream), lauki kofta (pumpkin meatballs in a creamy tomato sauce with cashew nuts). and chicken tikka masala (chicken in a creamy yogurt-tomato sauce) or paneer tikka masala, the vegetarian variant with fried cheese instead of chicken.
