Ingredients
2 katori kollu / horsegram / mudira / kulith / hurule
½ katori whole masoor / Turdal / masoor dal
½ katori whole mung / spilit mung / yellow mung
½ katori whole urad / split urad dal
½ katori channa dal / roasted channa dal (chatni dal)
1 katori broken dry red chillies
1 tsp whole black pepper
½ tsp asafoetida
Salt to taste
Instructions
Heat a heavy bottomed skillet / kadai.
Dry roast the horse gram & lentils individually till they become brown and you get a nice aroma.
Dry roast the red chillies, asafoetida and black pepper till chillies become crisp.
Cool and powder everything to a smooth or coarse powder.
Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Adjust the chilli as per your requirement. Since it is always eaten with rice, spice level can be a tad more than normal.
The consistency can be anywhere between coarse to smooth. My family prefers it to be smooth
This powder can be stored outside. Stays good for months. There is no need to refrigerate it.
