Dry roast all the ingredients in a kadai until slightly golden. Make sure to roast these over low medium flame and take care not to burn.  Slow roasting ensures even cooking and browning.  Once done, let cool completely and grind to coarse powder. Store in an air-tight box for up to a week.  Add a few teaspoonful to any sundal variety before serving or sprinkle some on your vegetable curry.
Notes
  • Yields little less to a 1/4 cup.
  • Salt is not necessary but can be included. Then you have to be careful while cooking the sundal, remember to adjust.
  • This spice mix can also be used for dry vegetable curries or stir fries.

    This is so cool mullai. The idea of sundal powder seems interesting. I add red chilly powder and dhaniya powder. But rather mixing it up and making it as podi is awesome. Super pa.
