Notes
- The colour will be brighter only if you use chilli as mentioned.
- Mine is mild spice. I choose bright red long red chilli variety.
- If powdered into more fine powder, colour may tend to become pale.
- Always grind red chillies frist. Then add the dal to get a coarse perfect texture.
- My Mother in law adds a sprig of curry leaves while roasting and grind it along for a great flavor.
- Asafoetida is the main flavoring ingredient to give the authentic flavor in this.
- If adding powder asafoetida, add lastly while roasting.
