Peri peri masala powder recipe a spicy tangy spice mix.Homemade piri piri masala powder recipe with video and stepwise pictures.

This indian spice mix called peri peri or piri piri orginated from South Africa.Had always wanted to taste peri peri mix,finally got a pack but it was too spicy for us esp kids.So checked the ingredients list, googled then finally tried this homemade batch.Though I did use few store bought powders to make this, am so satisfied with the taste.

I skipped citric acid alone(check mynotes for alternate) but tastewise its very close.Now I know how to balance the storebought mix too 😉  You can use this for any starter or even for curries, more recipes will come soon.

To crush:

• Mix well now the homemade peri peri masala is ready.You can use this for any starters like french fried,makhana etc.
• Store in airtight container.

Notes

• I have used kashmiri red chilli powder for bright color you can use normal chilli powder but reduce it as it will be very spicy.
• I didn't have citric acid but its used to give a sour taste so if you have add 1/4 tsp and crush it along with crushed items.Add 1/4 tsp amchur /chat masala powder for more salty taste as that of citric acid.
• If you are using onion powder you can add it directly.I used onion flakes so crushed it.
• You can taste it and adjust according to your liking too.
• The color of the spicemix depends on the chilli powder color.I used homemade kashmiri chilli powder.
