These days, I am getting used to measuring the ingredients while cooking. Never I had a habit of measuring the ingredients earlier. Now, my blog makes me remember to measure the things when I am in the kitchen :)

Here is the recipe of masala powder for preparing the Chips. These are my own measurements, you can make little variations in these ingredients according to your taste :)

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Difficulty level: Easy

Ingredients:

• Chana dal - 2 tbsp
• Cloves - 5
• Cinnamon - 2 small pieces
• 1 tsp coriander seeds
• 1/4 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/4 tsp carom seeds
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• 1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
• Big pinch of asafoetida
• Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
• Chilli powder - adjust according to spiciness needed
• Amchur powder - 1/2 tsp or to taste
• Salt - See Tips

Method:

• Dry roast all the above ingredients except chilli powder and amchur powder. Combine them and make a fine powder.
• To this, add chilli powder and amchur powder according to taste. 
• Transfer it to an airtight container and use when required.
• Better you prepare it fresh while preparing the chips.

 Tips:

• I have not added salt to this masala powder. Either you can add salt while preparing masala powder or salt can be added directly while preparing chips.
• Left out masala powder can be used for preparing Palya or any other curries.
