Here’s our family recipe for idli dosa podi in that you want a podi recipe for idli, dosa, etc.

Hi Nags, Great entry!! Ravi loves ‘gun powder’ and he always insists on calling it that. We use roasted red chillies and roasted whole black pepper and grind all together. Awesome pic, did you buy a new camera?
Give me “gun powder” (the edible kind) in any variation and I love it. In fact, at home I’m famous for eating milagapodi with idlis or dosais )not the other way around!
I saw a version of this in a magazine with garlic. Is that usual?
😀 Gun powder – that name always makes me laugh… After the Kerala chammanthi podi with coconut, this is my favorite podi… Great picture too!
Great! Another powder for me to bookmark to try!
Happy New Year!
