Notes
- Roasting red chilies along with coriander seeds avoids burning of red chilies. For that reason I always roast red chilies with other lentils / spices.
- Always cool down then grind else the vapor will make the powder moist which will make it to spoil easily.
- Use fresh good quality spices for best flavor and aroma.
- Always handle with a dry spoon to extend shelf life.
- Alternatively you can sundry it until crisp and grind it too. But roasting helps in releasing the flavor well so I would suggest to roast and grind.
- Slightly coarse mixture gives nice flavor than the fine powdered ones.
