Chef's Notes
Freshly roasting your own whole spices is the absolute secret to achieving that deep, restaurant-quality depth in this traditional kulambu.
Pro Tip
Always let your roasted spice mix cool completely before blending to prevent condensation from ruining the texture of your fresh powder.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you crank the heat too high while roasting the dry spices, you will instantly carbonize the red chillies and fill your entire house with choking smoke instead of lovely aromas.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
