Mmmmm. Step one, how do I "roast" these ingredients together? In the U.S., roast means to bake something in an oven.

Hi, Would be good if i knew your email id and also your good name.. :)

Roasting is actually, heating some oil in the pan. Add all the ingridients in the pan and shallow fry till they start spreading aroma and get a little brownish tinge..

Hope that helps..
