Notes
- Make sure the mixer jar is dry and clean and free from moisture.
- Once the whole pepper corns are powdered it will look dark in shade, it will look moist too. So spread it on a plate dry and then store.
- You can use white pepper corn to make white pepper powder.
- Grind it coarse or fine as per your preference.
- If you want for omelette and egg make it even more coarse. I made it for adding to curries, gravies etc so made it fine.
- I use pepper mill for freshly cracking pepper for omelettes and eggs and use this pepper powder for curries etc.
- Use a dry spoon every time you use it to extend shelf life.
