To powder black sesame seeds, cool down the seeds after toasting and then grind them in a grinder using a pulse mode for about 4 to 5 times until a dry powder is formed.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Toast the Seeds: Toasting enhances the flavor and makes the seeds easier to grind.
- Cool Down: Allow the toasted sesame seeds to cool completely. This prevents clumping during the grinding process.
- Grind: Place the cooled seeds into a grinder (like a spice grinder or food processor).
- Pulse Grind: Use a pulse mode (short bursts of grinding) in intervals for about 4-5 times. This helps to prevent the seeds from becoming a paste due to their oil content.
- Check Consistency: Ensure that the powder is dry and finely ground. If not, continue pulsing in short intervals.
The result should be a dry, fine black sesame seed powder.
