    FAQ's

    How do you grind black peppers into powder?

    Use a high speed blender to grind the black peppers into powder. It gives us fine powder

    Why do we need to make pepper powder in home ?

    Black pepper is a expensive spice. Hence a lot of adulteration is happening especially for pepper powders. Dried papaya seeds , coffee beans , black stone are used as adulterants of black pepper. To avoid this its best to make our own powdered black pepper in home.

    How to make Pepper Powder

    In a pan add the whole Pepper Corns. Dry roast in a low flame for 2 to 3 mins. Slowly it start to splutter

    Switch off at this stage. Allow it to cool down completely.

    Once they cool down add to a blender and grind to a fine powder. Store it in an air tight container and use.

    Now transfer to a wide plate and spread completely. Allow it to rest for 30 mins - 1 hours.

    Once its cool transfer to a air tight container and use.

    Top Tips

    • Always store black pepper powder in a clean air tight container and use as and when needed.
    • Use only clean spoons. If using wet spoons it might spoil the powder.
    • I usually make a batch with 1 cup of whole pepper and store. It lasts for 1-2 months depends on the usage. I make a fresh batch once its over.
    • Use a high speed blender to get a fine pepper powder

    Storage Suggestions

    Once the ground pepper powder cools down, transfer to a air tight container. Pepper powder stays fresh and good for up to 4 month. But i prefer making a fresh batch once in every 2 months. We can also freeze the pepper powder for up to 1 year.
