The Malwani Masala that is used for this recipe is blend of dried red chillies and garam masala. I use home made Malwani Masala. It is easily available in any of the spice stores under various brand names. In case you do not find it, you may alternatively use Deggi Mirch powder + garam Masala ( 2:1 Proportion)
