Karuveppilai Podi Recipe / Curry Leaves Powder Recipe

October 1, 2010 by Sharmilee J 33 Comments

Karuveppilai Podi / Curry Leaves Powder – The only way I can have curry leaves is this powder. I’ve rarely seen people eating curry leaves as such when used in gravies/poriyals and am one of the kind. I know its always been cornered….But knowing the goodness of it, I wanted to make this podi so that we can have it as a accompaniment for rice or even idlis and dosas.

Curry Leaves Powder Recipe

Ingredients:
  • Fresh Curry leaves – 3cups
  • Urad dal – 1/4 cup
  • Channa dal – 1/8 cup

    Good idea of using curry leaves and the powder looks good too. We love curry leaves and use it regularly.
    Curry leaves taken without frying it is much healthier. Acc to Ayurveda it also helps in proper digestion and good for the health of digestive tract.

    I tried this curry leaves podi today but
    when i grinded the veins of the curry leaves was seen here and there. Is it because i have not roasted the curry leaves properly.
