Poondu(Garlic) Podi/Powder



Poondu podi is a simple and easy to make spicy powder with red chillies and garlic which is a condiment for idly and dosa.I had this podi first time in my MIL's place and its my hubby's favorite and learned it from her.This podi is not only as an accompaniment for idly it can be used in the stir fry such as potato,raw banana and to make podi dosa.Since it is a spicy podi it needs to be topped with generous amount of sesame oil or ghee.



Ingredients

IngredientQuantity
Red chilly12-15nos.
Channa dhal(kadalai paruppu)2tbs
Garlic(big size)8-10 cloves
Saltto taste


Method
                       Dry roast the red chillies and channa dhal separately.Pound the garlic with the skin in a mortar and fry it till the color changes and let it cool down completely.
 In a blender first add the red chillies and powder it coarsely,then add in the channa dhal and grind it.Finally add the garlic,salt and pulse it.(not to grind continuously otherwise it becomes like chutney).
Serve it with Idly



Enjoy.....

  • No need to peel the skin of the garlic and top it with generous amount of sesame oil.
  • Sometimes I add curry leaves for extra flavor and taste.
  • After grinding,if it is not dry, dry roast the powder in a pan which is on a low flame for couple of minutes.It will be powdery after cooling.

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...

For the 5th day under instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is a protein rich dosa with moong dhal. This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy. Today I used,chopped onion and coriander leaves.Spicy tomato chutney or coriander chutney pairs very well with this dosa.Lets move on to the recipe............                                                                                                    ...
