In a heavy bottomed Pan, add the following according to size:<\/p>\n
This makes 3 – 4 Tablespoons<\/p>\n
1\/4 Teaspoon oil (just enough to get a light coating on spices)<\/p>\n
3 – 4 dry red chillies (kashmiri red chili)
\n7 – 8 Black Pepper Corns
\n2 – 3 inch cinnamon sticks
\n7 – 9 cloves
\n1 teaspoon coriander seeds
\n1 teaspoon cumin seeds
\n1 teaspoon channa dal (indian split pea)
\n1 teaspoon urad dal (indian white lentils)
\n1\/4 teaspoon nigella seeds
\n1\/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds<\/p>\n
Fry these on low heat till golden\/reddish brown or when you start smelling the awesome aroma \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Let it cool and grind it to a fine powder or crush in your mortar pestle. Always start grinding with the chilies.<\/p>\n
I have used this spice for many things. Add a teaspoon into your rice cooker with rice, or use in mayonnaise. Sprinkle on top of any dish to add a rich flavour. Spice up with more chilies if you like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
