Paruppu Podi

Paruppu Podi

Paruppu Podi is a South Indian special recipe served with steamed rice and a good drizzle of sesame oil / ghee. This is consumed with meals just before sambar rice or rasam rice. To make paruppu podi healthier I have added horse gram dal / kollu. I'M sharing my mother-in-law's version of preparing paruppu podi.

Ingredients:
Horse gram dal / Kollu - 1 cup
Toor dal - 2 cups
Red chillies - 6 nos
Pepper - 1.5 tsp
Hing / Asafatedia - 1 tsp
Salt - 1.5 tsp (according to your taste)

Method:
# Heat a pan add horse gram dal....dry roast on a medium flame. It should splutter well and nice aroma should come.

# Dry roast the toor dal on a medium flame. Once it is half roasted add red chillies, pepper, asafatedia and salt. Once it is roasted you will gets nice aroma and dal will change its colour.

# Allow it to cool completely.

# Make a fine powder in mixie / food processor.

Store it in an airtight container. Do try and provide your comments.
