Sourcing and Origin
This masala got its name from the Swahili name of pepper and its now world-famous spice through Portuguese cooking. Hathi masala takes the real, bold piri piri base and builds it with good-quality whole spices sourced from reliable farms across India. Hathi masala doesn’t use any shortcuts in sourcing, and doesn’t compromise with quality. They source red chilli, garlic, and coriander from their best-growing regions, and the herbs are sourced for good fragrance and freshness. Each ingredient is evaluated before processing.
Key Ingredients: Chilli powder, dehydrated garlic powder, dehydrated onion powder, iodized salt, sugar, herbs such as oregano and parsley, black salt, coriander-cumin powder.
Why Cryogenic Grinding Matters for Piri Piri Mix
A high-quality peri peri masala is a combination of multiple spices, such as chilli, paprika, garlic, onion, coriander-cumin, and oregano. Every spice contains natural essential oils, which gives the spices their flavour and aroma. A traditional grinding machine generates heat due to the friction, this heat evaporates these oils. Hathi masala ground these spices using a cryogenic grinding method that cools all the spices to –150°C using liquid nitrogen before grinding. This low temperature preserves the essential oils. This is why Hathi peri peri masala tastes bold and layered every time.
How to Use Piri Piri Mix
- In a Chicken or Paneer Marinade: Mix 1-2 tbsp of this masala with oil, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Mix everything perfectly and coat the chicken or paneer. Let it sit for around 30 minutes before grilling or baking. This will give you that street-style spicy flavor.
- French Fries and Potato Wedges: Sprinkle 1 tsp over fries or wedges while they’re still hot. Toss them well so the masala coats uniformly. Add a squeeze of lemon on top, and it tastes even better.
- Pizza Seasoning: Add some masala mix directly over pizza after baking, in the same way you use oregano or chilli flakes. This masala adds a bold, more complex spice than regular chilli flakes.
- Pasta: Mix 0.5-1 teaspoon with pasta sauce at the end of cooking to add a spicy, flavourful twist to arrabbiata or simple aglio e olio.
- Peri Peri Dip: Add 1 teaspoon into mayonnaise or thick curd, and mix well to get a quick dipping sauce for fries, wraps, sandwiches, or cutlets.
- Roasted Snacks: Sprinkle 0.5 tsp of this masala over roasted snacks, such as makhana, peanuts, or nachos. It'll give a quick chatpata snack that feels completely different from your usual Indian masala mixes.
