Product Description :
Paruppu podi is one of mom’s staples in her kitchen. This is her recipe that I follow exactly.
Paruppu podi or dal (lentil) powder is a common item in south-indian households. This is yummy mixed with rice and with pickle or pulikachal (tamarind sauce) alongside. I love it with plain rice, curd rice, even as a side for tamarind rice. Mom also prepares another podi with horse gram (muthirai or kollu paruppu in tamil) – horse gram is considered nutritious as well – will post it whenever I make it.
It is a simple procedure for a tasty powder that stores well for long.
Ingredients :
Moong dal (Green gram skinned and split): 1 cup
White sesame seeds (Til/Ellu): ¼ cup (or 4 tablespoons)
Dry red chilly: 2
