P.S:

If you prefer to make a large quantity grind it in a mill.

Use a dry mixer jar to grind.

This will stay good for 3 months in normal temperature.

You can also add hing powder instead of the thick one.

Dry roast the items carefully in medium flame.

Do not let it blacken. Roast until it turns slightly brown or aroma arises.

I missed capturing images of roasting ingredients separately. I shall add them soon.

Be sure to cool the powder well before storing.

While blending quantities do it in batches.

You can also sun dry all ingredients before dry roasting.

Colour depends on the red chilly used.

Increase or decrease red chillies to suit your taste.

You can skip red chillies and use this as a spice mix for any baby food
