Chef's Notes
Patience is your greatest weapon here. Never rush the initial dry roasting of the toor dal on a low flame, or you will end up with raw-tasting spices.
Pro Tip
Always ensure your storage container for the premix is 100% bone-dry; even a single drop of moisture will ruin months of shelf life.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Attempting to grind the roasted spices and hot dal straight off the stove without cooling, causing your blender lid to blow off and instantly redecorating your kitchen ceiling in bright red chili dust!

Royal Court Comedy

The Culinary Science
Dry roasting spices triggers the Maillard reaction and releases essential oils, dramatically intensifying the aroma and flavor complexity.
