Having a small portion of 'podi rice' along with hot rice and melted ghee is one of my favourite ways of starting my lunch. Andhra Style Paruppu Podi/Pappula podi is one among my top three choice of podis. I have earlier shared Tamil Nadu Style Paruppu Podi, Coconut Podi/Thengai Podi recipes with you all. Do try all of them.
These condiments come really handy on days you are not in the mood to cook anything elaborate and at the same time do not want to order out. On such days, all you need to do is to keep some rice.
This recipe has four ingredients in total and does not require any roasting . Takes less than 5 minutes to grind the podi. The podi stays good for up to 3 to 4 months.
You can adjust the spice levels according to your spice preference. If you do not have access to whole dry red chillies, you can even use chilli powder and make the recipe. I have to thank my instagram friend Latha for this delicious Pappula podi recipe.
You can watch my Pappula Podi recipe video below for the detailed steps 👇
Roasted Gram Podi / Pappula Podi/Pottukadalai Podi by Masterchefmom
1 cup = 250 ml cup
Storage: Keeps good for uptown 3-4 months when stored in clear, dry, odour free container
Recipe Courtesy : Mrs. Latha Kishore
Ingredients:
1 cup roasted gram/chutney dal
2-3 dry red chillies ( adjust according to the chilli variety and your spice preference)
5-6 garlic cloves (with skin)
Salt to taste
Note : You can also use red chilli powder instead of dry red chillies ( 1-2 tsp). Again, adjust spice levels according to your spice preference.
You can also add a tablespoon of dry coconut if you like . I usually skip it.
Method:
Add all the ingredients to the jar of a mixer, grind to a fine powder. Allow it to cool completely and then transfer it to a clean, dry, odour free bottle.
How to enjoy this podi:
Add hot rice to your plate, add a heaped spoon of the pappula podi , drizzle melted ghee on top , mix and enjoy. The podi also tastes great as a side dish to idli/dosa or any tiffin. It can be used to make instant chutney and also a thickening agent for your soups/gravy etc., If you are vegan, you can enjoy the podi with coconut oil or sesame oil.
Do try it out for your family and share your feedback with me.
Happy Cooking!
With love,
