Red Chili Powder Recipe it sounds like something special and new It is specially for people in hurry . I suggest specially for Bachelor's as they won't get time to prepare curries every time . It is one of the substitute of your pickles .
Many times in home if we are in hurry my mom used to make this and this can be used for 10 days without losing it's taste . Even now also every time when i'm coming from home to hostel i bring with me as we won't get spicy food at Rourkela . What i do is , i just mix a spoon of this powder in my regular curry so that i will get my own required spiciness .
You can also eat this with rice directly still it gives some new flavour . You can also add in your regular dal and recipes .

red chili powder- 2 cup
coriander seeds - 1/2 cup
