      Title: Karivepaku Podi (Spiced Curry Leaf Powder)
 Categories: Indian, Spices and , On the gril, Rubs and sp
      Yield: 1 servings

    150 g  Curry leaves
      8    Dry red chiles
      2 tb Coriander seeds
      2 ts Split black gram
    1/2 ts Fenugreek seeds
  1 1/2 ts Cumin seeds
      6    Cloves garlic
      2 ts Oil
      1    3/4" marble tamarind paste
           Salt; to taste

  Heat oil in a small skillet and add coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds,
  tamarind, split black gram and dry red chiles. Fry until the black gram
  changes color. Remove from heat and transfer the contents to another dish
  to cool.

  In the same skillet, in the remaining oil, add curry leaves and fry on low
  heat until curry leaves turn dry (some of the water content of the leaves
  evaporates). Remove from heat. Let cool.

  Now blend the contents of the dish, salt and curry leaves in a processor to
  the consistency of coarse semolina (like brown sugar). Now add cumin seeds
  and garlic and blend for a minute.

  Goes well with plain white rice served with butter.

  Stays good up to a month.
