Tips :

• Roasting and grinding whole spices yourself provides far better flavor than using already ground packaged spices.
• It is essential to utilize Indian Red Chilli Powder, not Southwestern American Red Chilli Powder. The two flavors have a totally different flavor profile; though American Red Chilli Powder is really a mix of flavors, Indian Red Chilli Powder is ground-up Chilli, like cayenne.
• Before Grinding make sure that the grinder is clean and dry.
