Notes

  • Roasting - Dry roast spices until nice aroma comes. Make sure to dry roast in low flame.
  • Grinding - Use a dry mixer jar to grind. Always grind in small batches to retain flavor and aroma.
  • Maintaining - Always use a clean dry spoon to keep it stay fresh and dry.
  • Storing - Cool down completely before storing. You can store this for at least 3-4 months in room temperature itself.
  • Replacement - You can skip red chillies if you prefer and add chilli powder while making pulao. I added very little chillies only while making the spice mix.
  • Can be used - for pulao, biryani, paratha stuffing, fries, stir fries, curries, gravies etc.
