Background

This is a flavourful powder prepared with curry leaves which are roasted and ground to powder. It tastes great when mixed with rice and a generous amount of ghee or sesame oil. It is also a delicious side for idli or dosa. It will stay good for months. Curry leaves are used for tempering in most of the south Indian dishes to add flavor.

2 Tbsp. split yellow lentils
1 Tbsp. split black gram lentils
3 dry red chillies
