Provenance
Named after the ghaats or the Sahyadris, a north west mountain range that runs alongside the Deccan Plateau, Ghati Masala represents through its earthy flavour the strong link that the people of Paschim Maharashtra or Desh have with their land. The region – which became the seat of the Maratha empire under Chhatrapati Shivaji in the 17th century – experiences unforgiving summers and severe winters, testing its residents' indomitable spirit a little more each season.
