Thengai Podi/Coconut Podi



Today's recipe for cooking from cook book challenge is simple thengai/coconut podi which I noted down from my friend.
Thengai podi is flavorful and easy to make,can be mixed with rice along a dash of ghee or an accompaniment for idly.
This podi is often sprinkled in dry vegetable curries and kootu for extra taste and fresh and flavor.This podi stays fresh for a week to 10 days if its stored in an air tight container in room temperature.
Here I used the desiccated coconut  but it can be replaced with fresh grated coconut also,with no further delay lets move on to the recipe...............................
