It helps to reduce stress, cholesterol levels, morning sickness and even to reduce weight. Curry leaves powder is good for diabetics and eyesight.

Curry Leaves powder is done by drying the curry leaves under the sun but, nowadays it's easy to make the leaves dry very fast by dry roast or by the micro oven. I usually prefer micro oven to dry the leaves instead of dry roast on the stove because its keep the green color of the leaves as it is.

Now in this recipe, I showed by dry roasting the curry leaves to make it user-friendly to all. For this firstly cleanly wash and dry the leaves overnight. On the next day, it becomes easy to roast the leaves. All the ingredients used in this recipe should be roasted well for more shelf life of the powder. The main ingredients to prepare any curry leaf powder are urad dal, chana dal, tamarind, and coriander seeds. But, many other recipes came out in recent days to make more healthy and tasty. Here I used sesame seeds for favorable taste as well as healthy.
