Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp channa dal
  • 15 small dry red chile
  • 1/2 tsp asafetida powder
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp salt , to taste
  • 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar or 1 1/2 tbsp palm sugar or 1 1/2 tbsp jaggery

Directions:

  1. Heat the 1 t oil in a wok or heavy skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the urad and channa dal and chiles.
  3. Fry stirring constantly until the beans begin to turn color, about 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the asafetida and sesame seeds.
  5. Continue frying until the contents of the pan are nicely browned and smell roasted, about 3 minutes.
  6. Turn off the heat, transfer mixture to a plate and cool completely.
  7. Blend in the sugar and salt.
  8. Grind the mixture to a powder using a coffee grinder (my preferred method), or a large mortar and pestle or spice mill.
  9. The powder should be neither course, nor as fine as flour; it should have a grainy texture.
  10. This mixture stays fresh indefinitely if stored in an airtight container in a cool place.
  11. Optionally, just before serving, blend a little oil into as much powder as you might use to make a sauce.
