Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 3 cups

Ingredients

  • 3 cup packed Dry Red Chilli
  • 1.5 cup Whole Coriander Seeds / Mullu Malli
  • 1 tbsp Mustard Seeds / Kaduku
  • 2 tsp Fengreek Seeds / Methi / Vendayam
  • 2 tbsp Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam
  • 3 tbsp Toor dal / Tuvaram Paruppu
  • 3 tbsp Channa dal / Kadalai Paruppu
  • 3 tbsp Urad dal / Ulundu Paruppu
  • 2 tbsp Whole Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Turmeric Powder / Manjal Podi
  • 1 tsp Asafoetida / Hing / Kaya podi

Instructions

  • Take a heavy bottom pan. Heat it on a very low heat.
  • First add in all the three dals, roast them for few mins till they turn couple shades darker.
  • Now add in pepper, fenugreek, coriander seeds and roast them for few mins till they turn light golden.
  • Now add in dry red chilli and roast them for few mins.
  • Add in mustard and cumin seeds. Roast all these ingredients till they turn nice and golden.
  • Remove them to a bowl and allow it to cool down completely.
  • Take them in a blender and powder it little, add in turmeric powder and asafoetida powder and powder all these finely.
  • Transfer it to a plate or paper to cool it completely.
  • Store this in air tight container.

Notes

1) Roast all the ingredients on a very low flame.
2) I have added all ingredients together and roasted, if you are scared that you will burn any of the spices, then roast all the spices separately one at a time and grind them together.
3) Store this in a air tight container.
4) If you are making a huge batch and you want to store it for longer time, then i suggest you to store them in fridge. Remove small amount of powder in a small container and keep in cupboard.
