Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 2-3 dried red chilies
- ½ teaspoon dried mint
- 1 teaspoon dried mango powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon pink salt
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, dry roast the red chilies, black peppercorns, cumin and coriander seeds until they're fragrant.
- Let them cool and then transfer them to a blender jar and blitz for a few minutes.
- Run the slightly coarse spice mix through a sieve to remove any large chunks.
- Mix in all the remaining ingredients and give it all a good mix. Store in an airtight jar.
Notes
- Dry-roasting the coriander, chilies and cumin seeds is really important to get that robust, earthy flavor. Don't skip the process.
- Make sure they cool down completely before you grind them, as they may clump up if you grind them while they're still hot.
- Also remember to keep stirring them while they're roasting in the pan, and keep the heat low, or you may end up burning them.
