• 1 tbsp of coriander seeds
• 1 tbsp of cumin seeds
• 1 tbsp of fennel seeds
• 1 tsp kalpasi, optional
• 1 tbsp of poppy seeds
• 1 tbsp of Kashmiri chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 2 tbsp of coconut oil
• 1 cinnamon stick

1. Dry roast the coriander, fennel, cumin, kalpasi, and poppy seeds in a dry saucepan over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
2. Place the roasted spices in a spice grinder, add the chili and turmeric powder and grind to a fine powder. Set aside for the time being.
