Bafat Masala
Bafat is a traditional Mangalorean blend of spices, commonly made with a mixture of dried red chillies, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, black peppercorn, cinnamon, turmeric powder and bay leaves. The Mangaloreans make this every year in bulk and store through the year as it keeps well. Used extensively in Mangalorean Catholic cuisine for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes
