Ingredients
Instructions
-
Melt the ghee in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
-
Bloom the spices: Add mustard seeds first. Once they start to pop, add cumin, garlic slices, and the dried chili. Stir gently.
-
When the garlic turns golden and fragrant, add the curry leaves (stand back—they’ll pop!).
-
Add a pinch of hing, stir once, then turn off the heat.
-
Let it cool slightly, then pour into a clean glass jar. Keep the solids in—every spoonful should be packed with flavor.
