Across South Asia, the word "masala" means a mixture of spices that can vary from one course to another as from one house to another. Not necessarily spicy, masala is supposed to enhance the taste of foods and give food a unique flavor. The masala can also be added to a beverage, especially tea. In my Indian family, the massalas are prepared at the time of use using a powder mill, reducing the desired mixture.
