Having homemade spice powders is always a boon. I normally never buy readymade powder other than Channa Masala and Pav Bhaji Masala. I have even tried my own Channa Masala, which is still sitting idle, waiting for the book to be published.
Apart from these two, I have always made sure I grind my own masala powder. One of the main spice powders has been the Biryani Masala Powder, which turns out so well. I have used that powder in different recipes and have always ended up with a delicious dish.
Everybody at home loves tandoori dishes. I looked up many recipes both from the net and from the books. Each one has its own story and different flavours. I finally adapted from Mallugirl, I had loved her grilling when she had done.
So when it was finally my chance for me to make these, I ended up making it first with Aloos, and many more followed. Tandoori Aloo was the first dish I made with this powder. Tandoor Paneer Tikka was simply awesome with this masala.

I made tandoori masala recently. Haven't used it in any recipe yet, will have to do so soon. It is so simple to make at home, they charge an arm and leg for it in the grocery store.

I dont think you will be surprised if I tell you that I use only readymade powders :D. I have never made even sambar powder at home (MIL sends it across, knowing my nature!).
The tandoori masala looks good and sounds flavorful. May be I should try this sometime...
Suma Gandlur says
Never used it before and so obviously never made it either.:)
Sounds flavorful.
