Hi Does anyone have a recipe for Birth Masala. It is a spice that is used in curries prepared for new mothers that have given birth. I am in Perth, Australia and have been looking for this for a while but cannot seem to find this. It is available in South Africa but due to customs regulations I cannot bring it into the country. Thanks Sandra

Hi Sanray, My grandma used to prepare this masala...great stuff!....but I think in the interest of the mum, one has to be certain of the ingredients used & it's action on the mum's health before consuming it.....by which I mean...re allergies to any ingredient it contains & that is why I think the Aus Govt has such strict rules.What I do know is she used to make it up from roots,spices,tree gum, seeds & another item that resembled an insect....& it is very rare in South Africa(it is not an insect ..but to me it looked so)....I have also been informed by relatives in Perth....that someone is making this spice......try to find out who she is......I am sure she will gladly oblige I hope this is some help Cilla
