Parippu Podi - Dal Powder

My mother in law makes the best Parippu Podi in the world. Seriously. And we brought some with us to London. It was over in a month. What do I do? I was given the recipe, and I made this stuff here. Took me 10 minutes!!!

Toor Dal : 1 Cup
Urad Dal: 1/4 cup
Red Chillies: 4-5
Jeera: 1 tablespoon
Pepper: 1 tablespoon.
Hing: A generous Pinch
Salt : To taste.

Dry roast the dals separately, add to the blender.
Dry roast the red chillies and add to the blender.
Now blend them until mixed. This should be a rough blend.
Dry roast the jeera and pepper.
Blend the Jeera and Pepper and mix in the dal blend.
Blend them together for 2-3 seconds.
Season with salt and hing.

Mix this powder with hot rice and ghee. :-)
