About the recipe
This recipe uses dals like chana dal, urad dal, cumin and garlic. Include more red chillis to get extra spiciness. Add extra chillis to get spicier. I prefer it less spicy so added only 10.
Flax seeds take very little time to roast so first sauté dals, then chilis and lastly roast flax seeds. We can keep some seeds separately and add them to the powder to get the nutty flavour.
