Dhaniya Powder / Daniya Pudi / Podi / Coriander Powder

Dhaniya powder thats used for making Masala Sambar or for Non Veg dishes is a mix of various Spices, roasted and finely powdered. Many of the store bought Dhaniya powder is powder of Raw Dhaniya which used for many dishes would give a raw smell. Therefore a home made Dhaniya powder is the best.

• Dhaniya Seeds : 1 kg 
• Channa Dhal : 100 gms

• Dry roast all the above ingredients separately. Do not brown them, less than golden brown. While roasting Dhaniya add a table spoon of oil. 
• Put them all together and make it a fine powder. If in India you can get this powdered in the flour Mill else use Coffee grinder. 
• Mixier Grinder can be used to powder however it does not make a fine powder.

Use this for all Masala Sambar / Non veg Curries and it does not give a raw taste.
