Description
Fyonli Raita Masala is a seasoning blend of roasted hemp (bhanga) seeds, cumin, mint, dry mango and spices, designed so that 1 teaspoon stirred into chilled curd makes raita.
In Garhwali kitchens, raita is seasoned with roasted bhang seeds and jeera. This blend puts that tradition in a pouch: roasted hemp seeds, pink salt, mint, cumin, amchur, coriander leaves, black salt, green chilli and black pepper.
