Homemade Rasam Powder
This is a spicy powder generally used in the southern Indian dish rasam. It is quite spicy with a peppery kick.
Ingredients
2 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp toor dal
1 tsp black peppercorns
½ tsp fenugreek seeds
4 dried red chillies
A handful of fresh curry leaves (dried will do if you can't get fresh but double the quantity)
Method
Dry roast the toor dal and spice seeds until fragrant and starting to brown. Remove to a bowl to cool.
In the meantime, dry roast the red chillies until they darken slightly and start to blister. Add to the bowl.
Dry roast the curry leaves until crisp and dry if using fresh curry leaves.
Grind everything in a coffee grinder until it is a fine powder.
