Though i have this recipe in my old blog i have got it again with the pic..... my amma makes it at home and i must tell u it smells too good so i took the recepie from her. And her saaru just tastes like the one served in temple. So i thought il Pen down the recepie here.

Ingredients:

Red chillies - 1 cup (broken into small pieces) Dry coriander seeds - 1 cup Gram dhal - 2 tablespoons Oil - 1 tablespoon Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon Fenugreek - 1/2 teaspoon (methi seeds) Hing - a pea size lump or 1 teaspoon hing powder. Curry leaves - 3 sprays.

Method:

Break up the chillies along with the stalks into smaller pieces (to enable easier powdering). Heat oil in a kadai and fry on a slow fire, the hing and the fenugreek seeds till light brown in colour. Add coriander seeds, red chillies, cumin seeds, gram dhaland curry leaves and fry for about five minutes on a slow flame till it is well roasted and you get a lovely aroma. Remove from flame and allow to cool. Powder fine and bottle it. This powder can be used for more than 6months and shud be stored in a air tight container and kept in refrigerator.
