- Pepper – 1 tsp
- Urad dal (round) – 2 tbsp ( or u can add 1 tbsp of urad and 1 tbsp of channa dal )
- Hing / Asafetida – 2 pinches
- Salt – to taste
Method :
- Heat a kadai with a tbsp of oil and add the red chilly, urad dal, pepper corns and hing.
- Roast till the dal changes to golden brown color.
- Transfer the roasted ingredients to a plate.switch off the flame.
- In the same hot kadai , add the curry leaves and toss it well.(fire off!!)
- Leave it for sometime.. the curry leaves become crispy.
- Finally grind everything to a fine /a bit coarse powder by adding the required salt. ( i always grind a bit coarse)
