Price Guide (February 2026)

The 100g pouch is priced slightly higher than some mass-market brands, reflecting its “premium” positioning.

Key Quality Highlights

• The “Ghee” Heritage: Since GRB is primarily a ghee brand, their masala powders are formulated to pair perfectly with ghee, creating a rich and aromatic finish.

• Complex Spice Architecture: This blend is known for a balanced use of Marathi Moggu (Kapok Buds) and Stone Flower (Kalpasi), which are essential for that distinct Bisibele Bhath earthiness.

• Authentic Tanginess: It strikes a delicate balance between the heat of the chilies and the sourness of the tamarind notes, ensuring you don’t need to add too many external souring agents.

• Aromatic Richness: The spices are roasted and ground in a way that preserves the volatile oils, giving the dish a “freshly made” fragrance.

The GRB Style Preparation

1. Rice & Dal Ratio: Use 1 part rice to ¾ part Toor Dal for a protein-rich, traditional texture. Cook them together with plenty of water until very soft.

2. The Veggie Sauté: Use GRB Ghee to sauté your vegetables (carrots, beans, small onions, and peas).

3. The Masala: Add 3–4 tablespoons of GRB Bisibele Bhath Powder.

   Pro-Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the powder in a little ghee for 30 seconds before adding it to the vegetables.

4. The Finish: Pour the cooked rice and dal into the veggie-masala mix. Add tamarind extract and a small piece of jaggery to balance the flavors.

5. Final Tempering: Top with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and cashews fried in ghee.
