First, take a kadhai or a skillet and let it heat.
Keep the flame on medium.
When the skillet starts to smoke a little add the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, black peppercorns, black cardamom pod, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf, sesame seeds, star anise, dried red chilis, and dried coconut.
Stir and dry roast them on low flame.
Continue roasting until fragrance comes out of the aromatics.
Turn off the flame and let it cool down completely.
After this, take a mixer grinder and add all the dry roasted spices.
To this, add turmeric powder, Aamchur powder, salt to taste, and sugar to taste.
Grind this into a fine powder. Make sure that there is no whole spice left in the blender. Keep this aside.
