சமையல் குறிப்பு

மசாலாவை சமைக்கும் அன்றே அரைக்கவும்; கடை பொடி செட்டிநாடு சுவையை தராது.

Grind the masala fresh on the day you cook — bottled powder never gives Chettinad flavour.

Cool completely, store in a glass or steel container and refrigerate up to 2 days. Reheat on a low flame with a splash of water, never in a hurry.
