It is a special homemade spice powder which is made of freshly grounded spices. Spices include 2 tsp of coriander, 1 tsp of cumin, 3-4 red chilies depending upon the spiciness, and ½ tsp of pepper. These are dry roasted in the pan until they turn aromatic and once they are cooled, they are blended to the coarse powder in the mixer without adding any water to it. You can also prepare this in advance or increase the quantity and store it in an airtight container for future use.
