To begin making the Kolkata Muri Malasal/ Moodi Masala Recipe, roast the cumin and coriander seeds until browned well. Roast on low heat, so it does not burn and turn black. Keep aside.

Next roast the bay leaves until crisp and you can smell aromas coming through. When you crumble the bay leaves with your hands it will crush immediately.

Once the ingredients are well roasted, combine all the roasted ingredients with the rest of the ingredients, add it to a food grinder and blend into make a fine powder.

The Kolkata Muri Masala / Moodi Masala Recipe is ready to be used in a variety of ways, like in Calcutta Ghugni Recipe (Tangy Yellow Peas Curry) and Jhaal Muri/Moodi Recipe (Calcutta Style Street Food With Spicy Puffed Rice).
