Moms are best . When they come to know that this is to right time to tell their daughters there secrets they open them all and give their life time experience to them and this is the greatest guidance a daughter can get from their moms
My mother gave me her secret recipe of garam masala which gives a dabha style touch to ur food and it taste awesome . In non veg the  taste which u cant even imagine

INGREDIENTS :-

150 gm of black cardomom ( badi elachi )
25 gm green cardomom ( chothi/green elaichi)
25 gm black pepper ( kaali mirch )
50 gm cumin seeds ( jeera )
50 gm cinnamon ( dal chini )
25 gm bay leaf ( tej pata)
50 gm cloves ( laung )

Take a non stick pan roast all the ingredients along its skin ( badi elaichi and chothi elaichi ) till its nice roasted and changes it colour . Then grind it finely and store in air tight container

When ever u make a dhabha style dal tadka or any other dish add this dhabha masala to give it a perfect taste of dhabha

It can also be used in other dishes also . It is my key ingredient.
