Instructions

  • Add the Urad dal. Roast till you get a nice aroma. Keep it aside
  • Add the red chillies. Roast till colour changes a little. Do not let it burn. Keep it aside

  • Remove and keep it aside.
  • Let everything cool and come to room temperature.
  • Add asafoetida and salt to this.

  • You can make a fine powder if you prefer it that way.

Notes

My grandmother adds a pinch of sugar while grinding the powder. If you prefer that way, please do add it.
Store it in a clean, dry container.
Use a clean spoon every time. Do not use wet hands or wet spoons.
