This powder is very handy. Trust me, it boosts up the taste and kinda of use it for all powder.
Things we need
Channa Dal - 3 tbs
Corriander seeds - 2 tbs
Red Chillies - 8
Asafoetida
Dry roast all these and grind them coarsely.
To make any curry, heat up a wok/kadai, add oil, mustard seeds, once its sputters, add the veggie (Brinjal, Raw banana (vazaikai), potato, Colocasia (sezpan kizangu), etc. Add salt and turmeric powder to this. Allow the veggie to cook. When its almost cooked, add this powder cover and cook for a couple more minutes.
Its done. Podi thuviya Kurryamadhu .
When we are making Pulippu kootu or even sambar, just mix 2 spoons of this powder to the cooked dal and allow it to boil. It compliments to the taste.
A must have podi in the kitchen for me
