I am a staff writer and have visited countless grocery stores numerous times; whatever I need, I know exactly where to get it from! I am a superhero - I identify value for money in any grocery list.
Pakistani cuisine is a combination of diverse culinary traditions from the various regions of the country. The cuisine is heavily influenced by the Mughlai and Awadhi traditions, as well as by the Punjabi, Balochi, Pashtun, and Kashmiri styles. One of the most popular and staple dishes in Pakistani households is Sabzi.
Sabzi is the Urdu word for vegetables. Sabzi is a versatile dish. Sabzi cooked with meat is known as ‘Sabzi gosht’. Sabzi cooked in rice is known as ‘Sabzi Pulao’. Sabzi cooked in tomatoes is known as ‘Sabzi Curry’. Depending on how it is cooked, sabzi can taste and name differently.
Sabzi is cooked at my house often, as it is easy to make and can be cooked in multiple ways. I am always looking for ways to amp up the taste of basic sabzi recipes. So, when I discovered Sabzi Masalas, I had to give it a try.
Everything you need to know about ‘Sabzi Masalas’
Shan Vegetable Masala
LIKES
- Spicy flavoring
- Economical
DISLIKE
- Limited packaging options
Shan vegetable masala is very handy to use. I sauteed some onions and tomatoes, then added Shan vegetable masala and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, and delicious, steamy spicy Sabzi was ready. Shan vegetable masala adds a depth of flavor and heat to basic sabzi recipes without having to scroll down multiple cabinets to gather spices.
National Chatkharaydar Sabzi
LIKES
- Moderately spiced
DISLIKE
- Limited Packaging option
- No additives information
National chatakharaydar sabzi masala adds a burst of flavor to everyday sabzi dishes. When I cooked my ‘Aloo Gobi’ with this blend of spices, it surrounded my house with an irresistible aroma. It is not heavily spiced, yet not bland so a perfect mix to add a moderate tangy, spicy flavor to everyday meals.
Mehran Vegetable Masala
LIKES
- Mildly spiced
DISLIKE
- No additives information
- Limited packaging information
- Caked up spices
Mehran vegetable masala has caraway in its ingredient list, which motivated me to try it out since caraway has digestive health benefits. It is moderately spicy, and gives a good kick; however, it had some spices caked up together, which makes me question its shelf life.
