A versatile dry seasoning can transform everyday meals into something spectacular. This vibrant homemade peri peri masala delivers a beautiful balance of fiery heat, subtle sweetness, and a sharp tang that awakens the palate. Blending staple pantry spices like garlic powder, oregano, and dried red chillies allows you to control the sodium and spice levels to suit your personal preference. Dust this zesty spice blend generously over hot french fries, roasted foxnuts, or grilled meats for an instant and unforgettable flavour upgrade.
2 tablespoons Kashmiri red chilli powder  1 tablespoon garlic powder  1 tablespoon onion powder  1 tablespoon dried oregano  1 teaspoon black salt  1 teaspoon caster sugar  1/2 teaspoon citric acid powder  1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Ensure all your powdered ingredients and mixing bowls are completely dry to prevent the seasoning blend from clumping during the storage process.
Combine the Kashmiri red chilli powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, black salt, caster sugar, citric acid, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Transfer the mixed spices to a small blender jar and pulse briefly for ten seconds to ensure all the herbs are finely ground and uniformly integrated.
Store the freshly made peri peri masala in a dry airtight shaker jar and keep it in a cool pantry for up to three months.
