Paruppu Podi

I always keep idli pedi / Gun powder ready..though chutneys are prepared, my better half loves these podi's. This podi is little different from the one I usually make. This one tastes good with hot rice and ghee as well as idli-dosa too. 

Ingredients 

Thoor Dal / Thuvaram paruppu - 1/4cup

Channa Dal / Kadalai paruppu - 1/4cup

Urad Dal / Ulunthu paruppu - 1/2 tablespoon

White Sesame seeds / Ellu - 1/2 tablespoon 

Pepper corn -1/2 teaspoon 

Red chilly -2

Hing/ Perungayam - 1/4teaspoon 

Method 

Dry roast the dals one by one until they turn golden in color and nice aroma comes. Do it patiently on low medium heat, taking care not to burn the dals. 

Similarly roast the sesame seeds, pepper corns-red chili and let everything cool down.

Grind them coarsely adding enough salt, hing and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.

Store it in airtight container. Serve as a side dish with gingelly oil or ghee to idli-dosa-rice.
