Instructions
- 1
Place the dried Kashmiri chiles in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Let soak for 15 minutes until softened, then transfer the chiles and soaking liquid to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind to a smooth, deep-red paste. Set aside.
- 2
Heat the mustard oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke and loses its sharp raw smell, about 2 minutes. Add the bay leaves, green cardamom pods, black cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and cloves and cook, stirring, until fragrant and the spices begin to sizzle and pop, about 1 minute.
