Notes

  • Roasting the leaves – I roast the moringa leaves slowly, I usually keep flame low so they turn crisp without burning.
  • Dals roasting – Try not to rush this part because roasted dals give the main flavor and aroma.
  • Grinding – I usually grind it little coarse as it tastes better, but you can grind them smoother too.
  • Moisture – I completely let the mixture cool fully before grinding, moisture can spoil the powder fast.
  • Storage – I store in clean dry jar and avoid using wet spoon to keep the powder fresh longer.
