Indian Gunpowder: Spicy and Flavorful Recipe

Indian Gunpowder: Spicy and Flavorful Recipe


COOK TIME 15 minutes

TOTAL TIME 15 minutes


Ingredients

  • 1⁄2 teaspoon rapeseed oil (optional)
  • 1⁄2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1⁄2 cup urad dhal
  • 1⁄2 cup channa dhal
  • A large handful of dried Kashmiri chillies (more or less to taste)
  • 30 fresh curry leaves
  • Salt to taste


Method

  • Using the oil, add it to a pan over low heat. The oil isn't necessary but speeds up the dry frying. You will need to soak up the oil with paper towels before grinding!
  • Dry fry the ingredients separately, as shown over low heat or all together.
  • After roasting, you need to let the ingredients cool.
  • Then, grind to a powder. This is not a fine powder but it is still quite fine.
  • Season with salt to taste and use as required. I'm sure that once you try it, you'll think of many good and perhaps even unique uses!
