Ingredients

• 1. Whole Wheat- 1 1/2 cups
• 2. Dry grated coconut(kobbari)- 1 cup
• 3. Whole red Chilies- 8
• 4. Curry leaves- 1 Sprig
• 5. Jaggery Powder- 1 Tbsp

• 7. Salt- To taste
• 8. Asafetida- 1/4 Tsp

Directions

1. Dry roast the wheat in the microwave, by spreading it on a plate and microwaving on high for approximately 6 minutes. Stop the microwave every two minutes, mix the wheat, and microwave again, this helps roast the wheat evenly. Microwave the red chilies on high for approximately 3 minutes. Roast the dry coconut, curry leaves, asafetida for about a minute. Let all the ingredients cool to room temperature, and powder in a dry grinder separately in small batches, doing the coconut in the last batch, since coconut has oil.

2. Mix the powders together with the coconut powder, jaggery powder, salt and tamarind powder and sieve together one or twice, if necessary to mix well.

3. Tastes great with piping hot rice and ghee.
