in my opinion, their is no harm in using masla packets. most of them are safe. however, still keep an eye on the list of ingredients. fresh meat is always 1st option to consider. but if fresh one is not available than you can use the packed chicken too. food laws are not that bad. its better to have meat rather thn skipping.

The biggest concern with the boxed masala mixes is the amount of salt that they contain. The amount of salt consumed each day should be minimized. Whenever possible, it is better to mix your own spices.

Ready to use chicken products like the kebabs, and koftas will also contain preservatives of some sort, regardless of whether the company admits that it contains preservatives or chooses to call them food additives or some other name. I personally doubt the quality of the chicken used in the uncooked frozen packets, so I avoid the use of them in my house on a regular basis. Focus more on eating vegetables and daals instead of chicken. Chicken, beef, and mutton isnt needed on a daily basis.

They can be used in moderation but avoid prolonged usage since they have a quantity of food colors, additives, and salts.
