Kanda Lasun Masala

This is a staple in Maharashtrian kitchens, made from a rich combination of onion (kanda) and garlic (lasun) along with dry coconut, red chili, and aromatic spices. It adds a deep, earthy flavor to everyday dishes like usal, misal, stuffed vegetables, and sabzi. Kanda Lasun Masala is particularly loved for its smoky, slightly pungent taste and is often used as a base masala for both home cooking and street food. Its balanced spice level makes it versatile across different cuisines.
