Tarla Dalal Hi, We are very sorry but we have all our measurements only in cups and tbsp and tsp, its best to buy yourself a set of these cups and spoons, they are available everywhere and cost very little. They will be very helpful to you.

madam, shall we add a pinch of desi ghee at the time of roasting. ginger powder is readily available because in Gwalior not available...

Tarla Dalal Hi Sachin, no need to ad ghee while roasting.. as it will not taste good.. when added in tea. ginger powder is readily available in supermarkets.. if not you can get the soonth.. and grind it to powder.. and use as required..

I did''nt roast the masala before grinding. So what should I do now?

Tarla Dalal Hi Pushpa, It will be difficult to roast the masalas now. Roasting is done to enhance the flavours. If you yet wish make the tea using this masala and see the taste.
