Notes:

  • You can also roast cumin and peppercorn each separately and grind it together along with asafoetida.
  • I used to refrigerate any homemade masala powder for long term use. You can also store this powder in outside temperature.
  • Always make this powder in small batches rather than bulk.
  • Adding salt is completely optional, because you can add salt separately while making rice or rasam.
