Nice recipe. Before grinding should we want to roast all ingrediants.
Hi Lekha,
Since poppy seeds do not grind easily, I would suggest you roast them on low flame for a few minutes. The rest could go in directly. However roasting brings out the flavors from the spices. Its your preference. I keep alternating between raw and roasted spices. Hope that helps.
