HOW TO MAKE IDLI MILAGAI PODI?

IDLI MILAGAI PODI- IDLI PODI, A FRESH ROASTED AND GROUND ACCOMPANIMENT

Idli milagai podi

Idli milagai podi or molaga podi or idli podi is an everyday staple at most Tamil speaking homes. The idli podi comes as a big rescue option when there s no chutney or sambar for that day s dosa and idli quota. There are many versions of Idli milagai podi like many south Indian recipes. This is my version.

Idli milagai podi

Idli milagai podi is best enjoyed with sesame oil. But there are some people, like me, who enjoy mixing it with coconut oil or melted ghee too. This is a very straightforward recipe and there is only one thing to remember to get that amazing Idli  podi.

Remember to roast the dals on low heat till they are golden. If you increase the heat, then the dals will be burnt quickly or roasted unevenly. This will not give a good flavor in your Idli podi.

If you are looking for more accompaniments for Idli and dosa, then check out coconut garlic chutney, vegetable kurma, tomato thokku
