Method :

1. Take a large pan ,Dry roast  Urud dal until light color change( over medium heat)  ,take out and keep it aside.

2. In the same pan ,dry roast channa dal until light color change . Before take it out add sesame seeds to it and sauté for 2 minutes .sesame can be easily get burnt .so carefully do this . You see sesame seeds puffed and ready to pop ..now take that out and put it together with Urud dal 

3. Again in that pan just one tsp of oil ,then add hing cubes( has to be crushed before adding) to that oil and fry for a minute ..if you are using  hing powder then add it later . Add dry chilies and fry for 3-4 minutes in medium heat .you can feel that , smell of roasted chili knocks your nose ..it's time to take it out. Before burning it .

4. Now to that pan add garlic pods and sauté for 4-5  minutes then add curry leaves ( has to be washed and towel dried before adding ) ,sauté for another 2-3 minutes . Switch off  the stove and put everything together and also,leave everything to be cooled before grinding them to powder . Add salt at this stage ..
