Ingredients:
Curry leaves-2 cup
Moringa leaves-1 cup
Sesame seeds-1/2 cup
Coriander seeds-1 tbsp
Pepper-1 tsp
Cumin seeds-1 tsp
Asafoetida-1/2 tsp
Salt-as reqd
Instructions:
- Clean, wash, and dry Curry leaves & Moringa leaves separately on kitchen tissue.
- Dry roast them on a pan till they turn crispy.
- In the same pan, dry roast sesame seeds, coriander seeds, pepper, and cumin seeds one by one, each for a minute.
- Switch off, add asafoetida powder & salt.
- Grind everything into a slightly coarse powder.
- Have it as an accompaniment to idli, dosa or mix with rice along with gingelly oil/ghee.
Notes:
- It’s good to remove excess moisture from Curry leaves & Moringa leaves, this helps the leaves to turn crispy while roasting. If it’s wet, they tend to stick to each other, and roasting becomes difficult.
- You can clean, wash and dry the leaves a day before, which helps the leaves to dry completely.
- Daily, consume either with rice or idli to meet your daily requirement for micronutrients.
- Especially with rice, mix the powder along with gingelly oil /ghee and let it rest for some time. It tastes heavenly when it’s pre-mixed and consumed later.
