Spicy Curry leaf powder

>> Tuesday, August 11, 2009

.


My hubby likes to start his lunch with the spice podis like paruppu podi, curry leaf podi, sesame podi & even sometimes with idli dosa podi. Especially, during his busy days he prefer to have his lunch outside & in those days curry leaf podi is my handy menu. Amma keeps telling us to eat the curry leaves instead of throwing them away because of its medical value.

I have been planning to make this spicy curry leaf powder for soo long & finally I made it. I sun dried the curry leaves for 2 days instead of dry roasting them in the pan and them grinded with the roasted Indian spices. I like to have this with chapathi, idlis, dosa & rice with a tsp of ghee. Though, it is simple to make yet it taste heavenly :)

Ingredients :
  1. Curry leaves - 2 cups
  2. Channa dal - 4 tbsp
  3. Urad dal - 2 tbsp
  4. Red chillies - 6 - 7 nos (as per ur spice level)
  5. Cumin seeds - 1 tbsp
  6. Corrainder seeds - 2 tbsp
  7. Tamarind - size of a litchi
  8. Methi seeds - 1/4 tsp
  9. Garlic - 1 pod (Optional)
  10. A pinch of hing
  11. Salt to taste

Directions to cook :

# Sun dry the curry leaves till crispy. Otherwise, dry roast the curryleaves for about 5 min. Keep aside.

# Dry roast all the ingredients seperately, as they turn brown at different temperatures. Allow them to cool.

# Combine all the roasted ingredients & grind them finely.

# Store it in a air tight container.

Note :

  1. Continously stir the ingredients while roasting. They turn black very quickly.
  2. Avoid using oil at any stage for longer use.
