  • 1 tsp asafoetida
  • 2 handfuls dry red chillies (or according to taste)

  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

Preparation

  1. Heat 2 tablesoons oil, fry the asafoetida until the smell comes out.
  2. Add the dals and fry until golden brown.
  3. Add the chillies and curry leaves and roast a bit.
  4. Switch off heat.
  5. Cool and coarsely grind with salt.
  6. Don't grind too much, it should be crunchy, not powdery.
  7. Store in a bottle outside.
