CURRY LEAF POWDER





I have been planning to make this spicy curry leaf powder for soo long & finally I made it. I sun dried the curry leaves for 2 days instead of dry roasting them in the pan and them grinded with the roasted Indian spices. I like to have this with chapathi, idlis, dosa & rice with a tsp of ghee. Though, it is simple to make yet it taste heavenly :)

Ingredients :
Curry leaves - 2 cupsChanna dal - 4 tbspUrad dal - 2 tbspRed chillies - 6 - 7 nos (as per ur spice level)Cumin seeds - 1 tbspCorrainder seeds - 2 tbspTamarind - size of a litchiMethi seeds - 1/4 tspGarlic - 1 pod (Optional)A pinch of hingSalt to taste

Directions to cook :

# Sun dry the curry leaves till crispy. Otherwise, dry roast the curryleaves for about 5 min. Keep aside.

# Dry roast all the ingredients seperately, as they turn brown at different temperatures. Allow them to cool.

# Combine all the roasted ingredients & grind them finely.

# Store it in a air tight container.
