Meat masala
Tony and Pam D’mello were my neighbours when I temporarily lived in Orlem, Malad West, while my residential colony went under major repairs. They at once took me to their heart and into their kitchen. In many ways I was their adopted son. Both of them are lovers of home cooked food and Tony makes, among other things, the most mouthwatering Christmas fruit cake. I am posting their meat masala which is just divine.
Sharing food recipes is the kindest thing you can do especially if the recipes are as good as family heirlooms. Food brings joy and comfort to many. Sadly, many selfishly guard their recipes and take them to their grave. Bring joy and share your food recipes with me.
When you make home made masalas, make sure that they are used within the week if not used fresh.
