Ingredients

1T or 2 T of all these:
  • Cumin seeds
  • Methi seeds
  • Fennel seeds
  • Coriander seeds
  • Pepper
  • Ajwain
  • Chilli flakes
  • Cloves - 4
  • Amchur powder
  • Dry garlic
  • Cinnamon - 1" pc
  • Cardamon - 2

Method
  • Roast the above spices in a pan for 10 mins. You will know when they are ready as a mouthwatering aroma spreads around the kitchen. :)
  • Simply grind this in a mixer/blender. And there you go!! Fresh homemade PBM powder.

Oyee!!! Chakh de phatte!!!! ;)
