Servings1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/8 cup urad dal
- 1/2 cup chana dal
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds optional
- 1/3 cup garlic chopped
- 12 red chillies I used kashmiri red chillies
- 1/2 teaspoon gingelly oil
- rock salt to taste
Instructions
- Measure and get ready with all your ingredients. In a pan roast urad dal till golden, set aside.
- Then add chana dal along with red chillies and dry roast it, until golden, set aside to cool.
- Now add coriander seeds and dry roast till golden, set aside to cool.
- Add a teaspoon of oil and roast garlic till golden and crisp.
- Transfer to a mixer, ground to a coarse mixture then add rock salt and grind to a semi fine powder. Transfer to a plate and let it cool completely.
- Cool down and store in an airtight container. Mix with gingelly oil and serve with hot idlis…bliss!!:)
Notes
- Slow roast all the ingredients, do not burn them.
- As my 1/2 measuring cup was missing I used 1/4 cup for chana dal just for photo sake, then added another 1/4 cup while roasting.
- Roasting red chillies with dal ensures even roasting and will not burn red chillies.
- My mother always insists not to roast red chillies alone.
- Adjust spice level according to your preference.
- It keeps well for 2-3 months in room temperature.
