Goda masala is spice blend very unique to Maharashtrian cuisine. The spices used here lend a subtle sweet aroma without hints of pungency & heat. So when you smell goda masala, you won’t sense the heat & pungency like garam masala. Hence this masala gets translated in english to sweet masala. Sweet not in taste but in aroma.
This recipe was shared with me by a chef many years ago.
The spices are generally roasted in oil but I prefer to dry roast them.
