Ingredients

Black Urad dal - 1 cup

Chana Dal - 2 tbsp

Horse gram/ Kollu - 1 tbsp

Sesame seeds / Ellu - 1 tbsp

Round chilies - 5

Long chilies - 5

Asafoetida - 1 piece

Curry leaves - 1 handful

Garlic - 2 cloves

Sesame/Gingelly oil - 1 tsp

Salt - to taste

Method

Remove the seeds from the long chilies and keep aside.

For this recipe, I'm using sesame oil for roasting.

First, add the asafoetida in oil and roast for a minute and remove it from the oil. If you have asafoetida powder add it in the last.

Add round chilies and roast for few seconds and add the seedless long chilies. Remove from oil and keep aside.

Then add Whole black gram, Chana dal, and Horse gram.

Roast the dals for 6 to 8 minutes till the aroma comes.

Then add the sesame seeds and roast. Once it starts to splutter add the curry leaves and garlic cloves and roast for 30 seconds and switch off the stove.

Allow it cool for 15 to 20 minutes.

Add the roasted ingredients with enough salt and grind coarsely.

Once it is cool down, store it in an airtight jar for up to two months.

For eating with rice add the powder and a teaspoon of ghee and serve with some papad/fryums.

Mix with sesame oil and eat with idli, dosa.
