Heat oil in a pan and roast coriander seeds until they change their colour.
Roast both kinds of cumin seeds first and add niger seeds later.
Toast sesame seeds with the ingredients, and keep this mixture aside.
Roast coconut until it turns brown and keep aside on a separate plate.
Dry roast all the remaining spices in a skillet along with whole and fragrant herbs.
Once the ingredients have cooled off, blend them along with salt, and store the spice mixture in an airtight jar.
