This is a basic meat masala, more of a Kerala origin, which can be used while making non-veg curries. It can also be used in vegetarian dishes for a nice flavour.
1) When making curry, remember that you have added salt to masala,( if you are making wet masala). So be careful when adding salt to curry.
2) Poppy seed gives thickness to curry.
3) Adding rice also makes the gravy thick when adding to curry.
