  2. No Sridevi only onion is supposed to be fried because it contains water. After frying water is evaporated that is why masala is long lasted.
    While making this masala no vessel or blender should contain even a drop of water.

  4. You need to wash coriander and then spread on cotton cloth, keep it as long as water is evaporated. So early morning you can keep coriander on cloth till u reaches the stage of blending
