Sukhila Jeera Lanka Gunda / Dry Roast Cumin Seeds & Whole Red Chilli Powder

This particular powder comes very handy when done in advance, stored in larger quantity in air tight bottles.

I am sharing this as I will be using the same in some authentic Odia dishes and it can also be used in a variety of chat dishes too.

To make this powder you will need about 1/2 cup of cumin seeds and 7-8 whole red chilies, dry roast them on low to medium heat and stir at regular intervals. Keep doing the same until it becomes medium brown

(do not burn it ) in color and a strong aroma comes from it. Once done keep it aside and allow it to cool completely. 

grind the same coarse and store it in an air tight container.

Your dry roast cumin seeds and whole red chilli powder is ready !!!!!!

Enjoy garnishing this with your choice of chat or any other dish :-)
