- While roasting the Black Pepper Corns, keep stirring it regularly and do not leave it unattended for long duration. Keep stirring it continuously so that the pepper corns are evenly roasted and do not burn.
- The roasted Pepper Corns should be grinded only after it cools completely. Also store the masala only after it cools down completely after blending.
