Poondu podi is a simple and easy to make chutney powder made with dal,red chillies and garlic which is a condiment for idli, dosa or even rice.This podi can also be added to vegetable curries/gravies.
All of us at home like podi very much,mittu can live with podi for days together yes she loves it so much.So I make sure to make idli podi as soon as it gets over.I have always tried to make garlic podi like the store bought ones but have failed miserably as it would become moist/ pastey.Now have got the trick…yayy!!

My Notes:
- Slow roast all the ingredients, do not burn them.
- As my 1/2 measuring cup was missing I used 1/4 cup for channa dal just for photosake, then added another 1/4 cup while roasting.
- Roasting red chillies with dal ensures even roasting and will not burn red chillies.My mother always insists not to roast red chillies alone.
- Adjust spice level according to ur preference.
- It keeps well for 2-3 months in room temperature.

March 24, 2017 at 5:05 pmThank you.
I tried and it came out very tasty.
One problem. It dient turn out to be as powder as you had shown.
Texture was a bit sticky.
Can you tell how what could have gone wrong.
