Ingredients

  • Red chillies - 1 cup
  • Dry coriander seeds - 1 cup
  • Gram dhal - 2 tablespoons
  • Oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
  • Fenugreek - 1/2 teaspoon (methi seeds)
  • Hing - a pea size lump or 1 teaspoon hing powder.
  • Curry leaves - 3 sprays.

Instructions

  • Break up the chillies along with the stalks into smaller pieces (to enable easier powdering).
  • Heat oil in a kadai and fry on a slow fire, the hing and the fenugreek seeds till light brown in colour.
  • Add coriander seeds, red chillies, cumin seeds, gram dhal and curry leaves and fry for about five minutes on a slow flame till it is well roasted and you get a lovely aroma. Remove from flame and allow to cool. Powder fine and bottle it.
  • This powder can be used for 2-3 months.
  • Use the chillies along with the stalks - as the stalks also have the potency of the chillies, and also provide fibre for the body).
