Notes
Fry all ingredients to the level until fine aroma comes.
This gives nice texture and aroma to podi.
I have mixed both Kashmir chillies and ordinary chillies.
I have added Kashmir chillies for color and to bring down the spiciness.
I have added crystal salt along with chillies to grind because it will grind easily.
