Ellu Podi/Sesame Powder

Blogging Marathon #16 has started from today and I will be blogging under the theme Shelf friendly recipes such as powders and chutneys which goes very well with idly,dosa and rice.

We both are podi freaks and love to have it with white rice and ghee as well as idly so my pantry is always filled with different types of powders.The powders are very handy whenever I feel lazy to cook and it is a good option for lunch box too with some tempering.

Sesame seeds powder is flavorful and easy to make powder which goes very well with both rice and idly.Originally this recipe is made with black sesame seeds but due to unavailability made it with white variety.Now to the recipe............

Ingredients
