​I never knew what a "masala" actually was. The only masala I knew was that movie with Denzel Washington and that sometimes cute, sometimes kinda not so cute chick that came out in the 90's. It was a tale of two cultures coming together in the most unlikely of places under the most unlikely of circumstances.  I don't know, I've never actually watched the movie. I've only seen bits and pieces in my late night channel flipping hoping to catch a love scene or something. As I've mentioned before,  catching a glimpse of a titty for a kid in the 90's could make your weekend. We had to take what we could get in the pre-internet age.

Anyway, I actually had to Google what "masala" actually is. According to Wikipedia,  masala is defined as "either a combination of dried (and usually dry-roasted) spices or a paste (such as vindaloo masala) made from a mixture of spices and other ingredients—often garlic, ginger, onions, chili paste and tomato."

As I open the bag and take a whiff,  it smells like armpits (chili powder). Upon first bite,  they taste like armpits.  The aroma was probably still in my olfactory glands.  Either way, it wasn't off-putting enough for me to not finish the tiny bag.  With each bite I get more garlic and pepper flavors with a barely noticeable hint of tomato to tie the two flavors together. Not bad. Not good...kinda like the movie. I'd eat them again if there were nothing else.
