Veg Kadai Masala is a flavourful side dish for rotis or parathas and tastes equally good for pulaos as well.It has been a while that i wrote reviews for Eastern Spices and it was the last one pending in their list that i got.Yesterday on the occasion of woman's day i got an invite from Eastern Spices to attend an award function for inspirational woman organised by them.I got to meet many people and could hear so many inspirational stories.That reminded me i have write one more of the product review.So here comes the Veg Kadai Masala which was an easy one to make,since it was a ready made packet masala.I have also included another version if you don't happen to get this masala,but this was really awesome and the rotis i made with this vanished in no time..
