Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating due to its extremely high sodium content per serving (506.5 mg), which accounts for over 25% of the FSSAI's recommended daily intake. Additionally, the sugar content (3.6g per 10g serving) is high for a savory masala mix, with sugar being the second listed ingredient. These factors significantly increase the health risks associated with regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Reduced-Sodium Veggie Paneer
1. Sauté 1 finely chopped onion in 1 tsp of oil until golden. Add 1 pureed tomato and cook for 2 minutes. 2. Add only HALF a serving (5g) of the masala mix, 150g of paneer, and 1 cup of chopped vegetables like bell peppers and peas. 3. Add 1/2 cup of water, simmer for 5-7 minutes, and garnish with fresh coriander. Do not add extra salt.
Health Benefits
This recipe reduces sodium and sugar intake by half while boosting fiber and vitamins from fresh vegetables.
Shahi Paneer Tikka Skewers
1. Marinate 200g of paneer cubes with 1 serving (10g) of the masala mix and 2 tbsp of plain yogurt for 30 minutes. 2. Thread the paneer onto skewers with chunks of onion, capsicum, and tomato. 3. Grill or pan-sear the skewers with minimal oil until lightly charred. 4. Serve with a fresh mint-coriander chutney.
Health Benefits
This grilling method avoids creating a heavy, high-sodium gravy and pairs the paneer with fresh, nutrient-rich vegetables.
Additive Analysis
The product contains Anticaking Agent (E551 - Silicon Dioxide), which is generally considered safe by FSSAI. It uses natural flavouring substances, which is preferable to artificial ones. The primary health risk is not from the additives but from the extremely high concentration of sodium and sugar in the mix.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'No Need To Add Salt' is questionable as it masks the product's extremely high pre-existing sodium content. The 'Paneer Facts' promote the health benefits of an ingredient the user must add, not the mix itself, which is a halo marketing tactic. The product name 'Masala Mix' is slightly misleading as the primary ingredients are skimmed milk powder and sugar, with spices only comprising 11% of the mix.
