Shri Renuka - Metkut

Metkut is a traditional Maharashtrian spice blend that combines chana dal (split chickpeas), rice, black peppercorns (kali mirch), asafoetida (hing), cloves (laung), red chili powder (lal mirch), and turmeric (haldi).

This unique mixture is used to prepare a flavorful, aromatic, and mildly spicy powder that can be sprinkled on various dishes or mixed with rice and ghee.

Metkut is known for its digestive properties, and it's often used in Maharashtrian cuisine to enhance the taste and health benefits of meals.

It adds a delightful crunch and earthy flavor to dishes, making it a staple in many Maharashtrian households.

Metkut's combination of ingredients creates a balance of flavors and textures that complements a variety of regional dishes.
