Hi madam,

All your recipes seems to be too good. Though I am seeing this website only now. I will try the readymade powders . U have specified as 75 g chilli for Rasam powder. Can u please tell me the number of chillies equal to 75 g?
Thanks in advance

Hi Prabha,

75 gms.means, take 2 hand full of 'gundu milagai. almost it will be ok.
I think this will help you.

Cumin Powder (jeera)

Ingredients

cumin seeds

Method

Choose plump, brown, aromatic cumin seeds.

Warm them a bit in a kadai or in a switched off oven, before grinding.

Dry grind in a mixer, till crushed fine.

Since crushed cumin tends to lose its flavour fast, grind just enough for a fortnight or so.

Cardamom Powder

Ingredients

cardamom (ilaichi)

Method

Remove the lump of blackish seeds from the cardamom

Grind them to a powder.

The skins are either discarded or mixed into tea leaves, to give a fine

smell in the tea.

Though this is a wonderful way to use the skins, if one has a large quantity,

then it is liable to go waste
