    • 10 dried red chilies
    • 1/2 tsp coriander seeds
    • 5 cloves
    • seeds from 6 green cardamoms
    • 1/4 tsp ajwain seeds

Instructions

Heat a heavy frying pan and put in the chilies and other whole spices after 2-3 minutes. Dry roast over a medium heat until they darken, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
