	Marinate the chopped Pear with 1/4 Tsp of Salt, 1/4 Tsp of Turmeric Powder and Black Pepper. Mix it well so that spices gel with the Pear pieces quite well. Now keep aside for 15 minutes.
	To start with the cooking process, heat oil in a pan on medium flame. Once you see the smoke coming out of oil, it is heated enough to start.Add the dry Red Chilies, Cumin Seeds and Coriander Seeds. Fry till they get light golden in color.
