Milagu seeragam podi / Pepper Jeera powder

I use this powder for Idly upma, egg omelet and for some rice varieties. I have this handy all the time. Its good to make in small batch, so the freshness and nice aroma is tightly packed with it. My mom used to send it every time i go to India, when i run out of this, thats when i make myself :)

Ingrediets:
Pepper corns  - 1/2 cup
Jeera  - 1/2 cup

Method:

My mom uses equal proportion of the two ingredients. If you like pepper more, then increase the pepper quantity.

There are several methods to make this powder.
Option 1.My mom used to keep it under the sun, until its hot and then make a dry powder in mixer.
Option 2.Since we don't get to see sun most of the time, i just dry roast them together in a pan until it becomes hot and turn off ( stir frequently to avoid getting it burnt ). Let it cool for a while and then make a powder.
Option 3.You can spread them in a microwave safe plate, microwave for 30 to 45 seconds or until it becomes slightly hot( keep an eye to avoid getting it burnt).Let it cool then make a powder.
