Only the second page of this recipe was found — the previous page (with the rest of the spice ingredients and their quantities: coriander, javentar/mace, red flower, elchi, star anise, trifal, kabab chini, dagad ful, cloves, pepper, black cardamom, jeera, shahi jeera, bay leaves) is missing. The roasting steps are transcribed in full from this page; quantities for those spices need to be added once the first page is found.
