Black Pepper Powder
Black Pepper Powder is a finely ground spice made from dry roasted black peppercorns. It boasts a robust and pungent flavor with a slightly spicy kick.
Ingredients
- 100 grams Black pepper
Instructions
- Take a frying pan, and heat it on a low to medium flame on your gas stove. When it is hot enough put 100 gm of black pepper in it. Stir them continuously for about 5 minutes to dry roast them nicely.(Pro tip: Do not dry roast the peppercorns on a high flame to expedite the process. This will burn them and eventually affect the natural flavor and taste of the powder).
- When they are roasted nicely and you notice a slight change in color, turn the flame of your gas stove off. Transfer them to a plate immediately and set it aside so that they cool off completely at room temperature.(Pro tip: Make sure that you transfer the roasted black pepper immediately to a separate plate. This will terminate the cooking process).
- When it is sufficiently cool, transfer them from the plate to a clean and dry grinder.(Pro tip: Make sure that they are cool because grinding them when hot will result in clumping).
- Grind them to a fine powder. Mix them. Check the consistency.(Pro tip: Grind the corns intermittently. This will prevent heat generated by the rotating motor of the mixed grinder and prevent clumping. If you want a finer and smoother texture of the powder, grind it a couple of times more. However, having a coarser texture like mine is better but it is all about your preference).
- If you are happy with the texture, transfer them to a bowl and your homemade black pepper powder is ready to be used in a variety of dishes.
