  • 1 cup coriander seeds saabit dhaniya
  • 1 1/2 cup whole round dried red chilies saabit laal mirch

Instructions

  • FOR KACCHA MASALA (RAW 3 SPICE MIX)

  • You can use this spice mix for marination and curries etc.
  • FOR DAHI BARA MASALA (ROASTED 3 SPICE MIX)
  • In a pan, add all the ingredients and roast them at low heat. Stir the contents of the pans occasionally to make sure all the seeds get evenly heated for about 6 to 7 mins.
  • When the color of the coriander seeds change from mustard to a golden brown color, turn off the heat and allow the spices to cool down.
  • Once cooled, use a food processor to grind the spices into a coarse spice mix. Preserve in an airtight jar.
  • This is a roasted spice version so it can also be used for directly sprinkling on top of food and is most commonly used with dahi bareys
