How To Make Rasam Powder

Ingredients for Rasam Powder

Rahar dal                    2 tsps

Coriander seeds         ½ cup

Fenugreek seeds        1/4th tsp

Black pepper             1 tsp

Mustard seeds           1/4th tsp

Cumin seeds             1 tsp

Red chillies               5 to 6

Dried curry leaves    10 to 12

Dried coriander leaves:    1/4th bunch

Every ingredient should be roasted separately in a pan in simmer except coriander leaves and curry leaves. These two have dried in hot sun for 5 to 6 hours. After roasting cool them in a room temparature  and grind into a fine powder keep this in an air tight container. In my opinion the powder should be prepared in smaller quantities fresh powder gives good taste and smell.
