MOUNTAIN Pandhara Rassa Masala – Authentic Kolhapuri White Curry by Rajeshwari SHG

MOUNTAIN Pandhara Rassa Masala Ready To Cook is a traditional Maharashtrian spice blend crafted for preparing the famous Kolhapuri Pandhara Rassa, also known as white curry. This 50 gm pack is carefully prepared by the women of Rajeshwari Self Help Group (SHG) from Maharashtra, under rural livelihood initiatives supported by Kokankanya. Made using natural spices and traditional roasting techniques, this masala contains no artificial colours, preservatives, or chemicals.

Pandhara Rassa is a signature dish of Kolhapur cuisine, known for its rich coconut base, mild heat, and aromatic spice profile. Unlike red rassa, pandhara rassa derives its flavour from dry coconut, coriander seeds, cumin, garlic, and select whole spices. MOUNTAIN Pandhara Rassa Masala captures this authentic balance, allowing you to recreate restaurant-style Kolhapuri curry in your home kitchen with ease.

Each batch of this masala is prepared in small quantities to maintain freshness, aroma, and flavour consistency. Spices are cleaned, sun-dried, slow roasted, and ground using traditional methods, ensuring the natural oils and taste remain intact. This ready-to-cook masala saves time while preserving the soul of traditional Maharashtrian cooking.
