After 7 minutes of roasting you will get nice aroma and also the dals are light brown in its colour.

If you press chilli, garlic and curry leaves they should break. Till that point you need to roast them.

Roasting garlic perfectly is very important otherwise this powder will spoil soon. If you are not sure about roasting with dals, then roast them separately and add to dal. To know whether it is roasted or not try to bend garlic it should hard and break. Should not be soft.

Now transfer the content into separate plate. Once it is cooled blend them into fine powder. If you feel it is coarse, then sieve and then grind the big particles again in blender. Now finely ground idli powder is ready.
