Notes

  1. I would strongly suggest you to use fresh spices of top quality to make this powder at home. This will add to the taste and flavor.
  2. Roast the ingredients to perfection without burning them. This will help achieve the right texture of the powder and also add to its taste and flavor.
  3. Make sure you let the ingredients cool down completely before grinding. This will prevent clumping due to condensation.
  4. You may grind the spices a couple of times for a finer and smoother texture. However, grind intermittently to prevent heat generation by the rotating motor.
  5. This recipe is customizable. So, you are free to experiment with different ratios of the spices according to your liking.
