Tips & Secrets

  • Frying every component separately is the absolute secret to maintaining the individual professional textural identity of the ingredients.
  • Add the dry spices while the components are still warm to ensure a superior professional-grade flavor coat.
  • Using fresh coconut oil or peanut oil for frying provide the essential professional aromatic backbone of traditional Indian mixtures.
  • Storing in a glass airtight container is mandatory to prevent the oily components from becoming stale or professional-grade rancid.
