Gun powder recipe: You have to individually roast and heat the ingredients, so after every roast, remove them aside and let them cool down. Roast chana dal on medium flame until golden brown. Next, dry roast urad dal on low flame until it smells nutty and changes colour. Then roast white sesame seeds until they change color and start to pop. After that, heat 1 teaspoon of oil to sauté dry red chilies and curry leaves until the chilies puff up and the leaves become crispy. After they cool down, transfer to the blender after adding hing and salt as per required. Blend to achieve a powder-like texture and store in an air-tight container.
