Poondu podi is a simple and easy to make spicy powder with red chillies and garlic which is a condiment for idly and dosa.I had this podi first time in my MIL's place and its my hubby's favorite and learned it from her.This podi is not only as an accompaniment for idly it can be used in the stir fry such as potato,raw banana and to make podi dosa.Since it is a spicy podi it needs to be topped with generous amount of sesame oil or ghee.
Ingredients
Ingredient | Quantity |
---|---|
Red chilly | 12-15nos. |
Channa dhal(kadalai paruppu) | 2tbs |
Garlic(big size) | 8-10 cloves |
Salt | to taste |
Method
Dry roast the red chillies and channa dhal separately.Pound the garlic with the skin in a mortar and fry it till the color changes and let it cool down completely.
In a blender first add the red chillies and powder it coarsely,then add in the channa dhal and grind it.Finally add the garlic,salt and pulse it.(not to grind continuously otherwise it becomes like chutney).
Serve it with Idly
Enjoy.....
- No need to peel the skin of the garlic and top it with generous amount of sesame oil.
- Sometimes I add curry leaves for extra flavor and taste.
- After grinding,if it is not dry, dry roast the powder in a pan which is on a low flame for couple of minutes.It will be powdery after cooling.
I remember similar kind of podi prepared by my MIL. But I am not sure abt the ingredients. Anyway, I like this flavourful podi.
