Lucknows Kebab Masala (Galawati), 40 gm (Pack of 9)

This is excellent. I am from Lucknow and the taste is almost 90% close to the Tunday we get in Lucknow. People saying it’s salty, kindly don’t add any other salt or masala, it has everything the kebab needs. I wish they made the packets with larger quantity.

it gives good flavor but the food cooked with this masala is very salty

I finally got around to making the galawti and it turned out amazing! The instructions were very straightforward and simple. Marinated the meat for an hour with this masala, raw papaya and ginger garlic paste. Then added besan and fried onion. Then shallow fried on a non stick pan. And it turned out better than the restaurant ones. The masala is quite spicy. We eat a lot of spice in our home and it was teekha for us too. So if you're making it, and have a lower spice tolerance, consider using about 80% or 90% of the masala. But if you can, use the whole thing because the masala, in addition to being teekha, is so wonderfully fragrant!

One of the best mix of spice, frankly I think just use half of the amount mentioned on the packaging.

So I love galawati kebab from dastarkhwan in lucknow. I even travelled from Delhi just to eat there and I tried multiple places in Delhi but dastarkhwan was always better. Can't keep travelling1100kms everytime to eat there so decided to make my own. Based on a lot of review about this spice mix, I decided to give it a try. And it tasted just like dastarkhwan. Now since there are few negative reviews here's what I did. I used a weighing scale measuring every little grams to the exact mentioned quantity in recipe except spice mix. I measured the spice only which was 37 grams and I used 16 grams for half kg mutton. I had made sure mutton was half kg after grinding. It kind of loses 10 percent during grinding. I also got 25% fat instead of 100% lean mutton. In hindsight I should have gotten only 10 percent. They kind of broke apart during flipping but still were tasty none the less. Masala is really good. Just need to follow instruction and use a bit less spice.

Product arrived late but safely. The retail package shown in the description was a bos and arrived in pretty cheap pouch. Hope it's original. Quantity is perfect as described but the actual package gives a very negative vibe though the spice is very good. Seller should note the point and change it soon. Quantity and quality of the spice is good. Definitely recommend if is properly presented

Very flavorful and great fragrance. The masala adds a punch to the kebabs, and delivera an authentic taste. I even use it for curries and it works wonders.
