Byadagi variety of Red Chillies - 45-50 or 80 grams
Method:
1. First, we need to dry roast a few ingredients.
2. Add 2 Tbsp or 15 Grams Cumin Seeds to a pan.
3. Roast the Cumin Seeds in medium flame till it turns golden in color. Do not over-roast the Cumin Seeds. Roast for 3-5 minutes. Roast till the roasted aroma of the Cumin Seeds appears. Transfer this to a plate and allow it to cool completely.
4. Add 4 Tbsp or 20 Grams of Coriander Seeds to the same pan. Roast this in a medium flame till they turn golden in color. Ensure you do not over-roast the Seeds. Roast till you obtain the roasted aroma from the Coriander Seeds. If roasted in excess, a burnt smell may appear in the Bisi Bele Bath Powder. Transfer these roasted Coriander Seeds to the same plate to which Cumin Seeds are transferred.
5. Now, add 7-8 inches or 5 Grams of Cinnamon Stick to the pan. Roast in medium flame till the color of the Cinnamon is altered. Roast till you obtain the roasted aroma from the Cinnamon. Transfer the roasted Cinnamon to the same plate as before and allow it to cool completely.
6. Add 1 Tbsp or 5 Grams of Fenugreek Seeds to the same pan. Roast till the Fenugreek Seeds are roasted to golden in color. Also, transfer the Fenugreek Seeds to the same plate as before after the roasted aroma appeared.
7. Now add 2 Star Anise and roast the same. The Star Anise changes its color slightly and the aroma from the Star Anise appears. Transfer this to the same plate and allow it to cool completely.
8. Add 8-10 Kopak Buds to the pan. After roasting for a few seconds, add Big Cardamom or Badi Elachi and add 4-5 Cloves. Roast all these ingredients in medium flame for 2-3 minutes. Do not over roast the spices, as the aroma of the spices will not appear in the Bisi Bele Bath Powder. Transfer this again to the same plate as before and allow them to cool.
9. Now, add 2 Green Cardamom, and 4-5 pieces of Black Stone flower and roast them. Black Stone Flower imparts a good aroma to the Bisi Bele Bath Powder. Once roasted, transfer these to the same plate as before and allow them to cool.
10. Now we need to roast the rest of the ingredients in Oil.
11. Add 1/2 tsp Coconut Oil to a pan. Once Oil is hot, add 1/2 Cup or 100 grams Urad Dal or White Lentils. Roast the Urad Dal in medium flame. Slowly the Dals will absorb Oil and turn slightly golden in color. Transfer the roasted Urad Dal to the same plate as the one with the spices. Allow Dal to cool completely.
12. Now add 1/2 tsp Coconut Oil to the pan. Add 1/2 Cup or 110 grams, Bengal Gram. Roast in medium flame. Dal will absorb the Oil first and slowly start to shrink. Roast till they slightly change in the colour to golden. Transfer the roasted Bengal Gram to the plate and allow it to cool completely.
13. Add 1/2 tsp Coconut Oil to another pan. Add 45-50 or 80 grams of Byadagi variety of Red Chillies. Roast them in medium flame. While roasting, Red Chillies will change their color and turn fluffy. Roast till they turn crispy. Transfer the Chillies to another plate and allow them to cool. Red Chillies will be soft when they are just roasted and hot. Upon cooling, they will turn crispy.
14. Now all the ingredients have been cooled. Mix everything once. Add the roasted ingredients to a mixer, a little at a time, and grind to a coarse powder.
15. Now we need to grind the roasted Red Chillies. To the same mixer jar, add the roasted Chillies and grind them. Do NOT grind the Red Chillies and other ingredients together. Red Chillies will not get powdered well, the Chilli seeds may stay in the powder. So better to grind the Chillies separately and mix later with other ground ingredients.
15. Mix the Red Chilli Powder with the other powdered spice ingredients. Once everything is mixed, again powder them in a mixer grinder to help mix all of the ingredients thoroughly. All the ingredients of the powder should mix well.
Store this in an airtight container and can store up to 3-4 months.
