Now take a pan and heat it for a minute then regulate the flame on medium. And dry roast them for 2 to 3 minutes. First, roast coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, dry mango. Dry roast them on medium. when the spices release their aroma then it is done. Remove it from heat. And leave it to cool down.
After that, dry roast the cinnamon, green cardamom, black cardamom, cloves, black pepper, red chilies, bay leaf. Again, repeat the same process.
Now roast the sesame seeds, fenugreek leaves, and curry leaves. It takes only 30 to 40 seconds.
Leave it to cool down. Then take a grinder and add it into them.
Add salt, sugar, turmeric powder. If you are using dry mango powder. Add it here.
