Mon, Feb 11 2019I added all the Ingredients in masala to the grinder as said. Then I saw that the Coconut needs to be dry roasted coarsely. Ohh.. So the coconut needed to be added later on to the masala. Also the garlic looks full. So do they need to be grinded also? Can you keep the items to be grinded finely separately. However I got a Channa masala instead of Channa sukka as the masala was grinded finely because I had coriander seeds and red chilies in it.
In the end the taste came out nice. Thanks! Suraj
