– ½ cup horsegram kollu – 3 tbsp toor dal – ⅓ cup cumin seeds – ½ cup coriander seeds ...

Ingredients

1

Heat a kadai (pan) on medium heat. Add the horsegram and toor dal.

2

Dry roast until the toor dal turns light brown and the horsegram becomes deep brown. Transfer to a plate and allow it to cool.

3

In the same kadai, add the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, black pepper, curry leaves, and dried red chilies.

4

Roast until the spices release a fragrant aroma and the curry leaves turn crisp. Transfer to another plate to cool.

5

Once the ingredients have cooled, transfer the roasted horsegram, toor dal, and dried red chilies to a mixer jar. Grind in intervals to avoid overheating the mixture. Be cautious when opening the jar, as the aroma can be strong.

6

Add the remaining spices and 1 tsp of turmeric powder to the jar.

6

Grind in short intervals, mixing in between, until you achieve a slightly coarse texture.
