Things to Dry Roast :

Keep a kadai on a low flame. Dry roast the rice till it turns light brown and crispy and let it cool.

Now dry roast the Urad dal till it turns brown in colour and keep it aside.

Next roast the cumin seeds and black peppercorns. Allow it to cool.
Roast the dry red chillies and curry leaves. You can add a tsp of oil before you roast the chillies.

At last in a very low flame just roast the Asafoetida powder and add salt to it and stir for two minutes.Everything is roasted now.

Put all the roasted ingredients together in a mixer and grind them. Make a slightly coarse powder, that is..our Idli Podi is ready !!!


This is a dipping condiment :-P  This powder is mixed with oil, mostly with coconut oil or gingely oil. Make a paste and have it by dipping pieces of idlis or dosas....

Mmmmm.......Yummy, Isn't it ?
