Sundal Podi is a simple flavorful spice mix that comes handy when making sundal or even vegetable stir fries. It is made with basic ingredients like coriander seeds, urad dal, chana dal and red chilies that are roasted and grind to a slightly coarse powder and stored. The flavor is earthy, spicy and nutty which adds good depth to any dish.

Notes

  • Roasting – I always roast the ingredients in medium flame till golden. Don’t hurry, proper roasting gives flavor and makes podi last longer.
  • Grinding texture – I have kept the podi little coarse. You can grind more fine if you like but coarse gives good taste with sundal.
  • Adding spices – You can add jeera and pepper also while roasting. I sometimes do this when I plan to use the podi for vegetable curry.
  • Storage – I always store in clean dry jar. Make sure cool the podi completely before close the lid.
  • Batch size – I usually make small batch enough for one month. Fresh podi always taste better than old stock.
