Goda Masala..a Maharashtrian masala

Goda masala is blend of spices roasted and powdered together..Normally all maharashtrian or neighboring states use this masala in their daily cooking .When i came to belgaum after my marriage i heard a lot about this masala but never tried this.But about 8 years ago my neighbor gave me this masala and i used this for my chicken and other veg dishes and it  was awesome.
                  It is different from garam masala because it has copra and white sesame seed.Both has its own flavor and aroma..So if you really want to try some maharashtrian cuisine then this masala is a must.
