Инструкции
- Heat the 1 t oil in a wok or possibly heavy skillet over medium heat for 3 min. Add in the urad and channa dahl and chiles. Fry stirring constantly till the beans begin to turn color, about 3 min.
- Stir in the asafetida and sesame seeds. Continue frying till the contents of the pan are nicely browned and smell roasted, about 3 min.
- Turn off the heat, transfer mix to a plate and cold completely. Blend in the sugar and salt. Grind the mix to a pwdr using a coffee grinder
- (my preferred method), or possibly a large mortar and pestle or possibly spice mill. The pwdr should be neither coarse, nor as fine as flour; it should have a grainy texture. This mix stays fresh indefinitely if stored in an airtight container in a cold place. Optionally, just before serving, blend a little oil into as much pwdr as you might use to make a sauce.
- NOTES : The following spicy pwdr is extremely warm, but very tasty and addictive. I find myself eating it plain, unable to stop-but I'm a strange one. The recipe comes from Julie Sahni's Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking. Some of the ingredients are specialized; you'll have to get them from an Indian foods store
