- Store this in an air tight container.
Notes
- Roast all the ingredients on a very low flame.
- 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.
- Store this in an air tight container.
- 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.
