Critical Success Points

  • Avoid over‑burning the red chilies – it will impart bitterness.
  • Allow all roasted spices to cool completely before grinding.
  • Grind spices in small batches to prevent the grinder from overheating.

Safety Warnings

  • Roasted spices can be hot when removed from the pan; wear thermal gloves.
  • Keep the grinder lid tightly closed while operating; it may emit smoke.
  • Allow roasted spices to cool; otherwise smoke in the grinder can cause eye irritation.
