Notes
- Roasting each ingredient slowly and separately which is the key to perfect tasting Paruppu Podi.
Roast in low flame or low medium flame for perfectly evenly roasted ingredients.
Make sure to see there is no moisture in any of the ingredient before grinding. If you grind it soon after roasting it may become lumpy because of the hot vapour. So always cool down before grinding.
Adjust red chillies according to your spice level. I have used 12 nos red chillies in total for 1 cup dal you can increase to 15 or 20 if you like spicy paruppu podi.
