IDLY MILAGAI PODI FROM ME, DAHI KADHI FROM MY FRIEND
Idli podi or Ulutham paruppu milagai podi,how we call it is a dry powder mixed with ghee or sesame oil,is used as an accompaniment for Idly and dosa's...This is the authentic recipe which I learnt from my mother,she inturn learnt from my grandmother..... In my in- laws side also same,except some few feeble changes...

Method:
- Roast all the ingredients,except salt separately till golden brown and cool down.
- 2. Grind first red chillies and salt first and then add the other ingredients and grind to a fine or little coarse powder...how I like!
- 3. Enjoy this podi,obviously with idly or sprinkle this magic over thin dosa spread with ghee!!
- Nei Podi dosai anyone?

My grandmother also makes really good idli podi and is a bit coarse. yours looks perfect! The kadhi looks great.. thanks for the step-by step pics Sangeetha.
Spicy podi,looks very tempting on crisp dosa.I also add onion pakoda to my dahi kadhi.
The idli podi looks fantastic. Idli or dosai with podi is an all time favorite.
I have one question about the kadhi. Does boiling the curd mixed with besan make it break? Yours looks perfect. I always have this nagging doubt.
Looks yummy. My mom in law makes so good.
wow ... I love that dosa picture .. its making me hungry
hi indosungod,
Regarding your doubt in kadhi, when the kadhi comes at the boiling stage it looks its breaking but you have keep stirring it continuously and keep the gas in slow and allow it to boil for 10-15 mins.
wow podi dosai mmmm very crisp and mouthwatering superb and Inever use tomato with kadhi nice will try next time
hi,i/2 cup measurement is exactly USA cup measurement?
Hi Nageswari,
My 1/2 cup holds 125 ml of liquid.. Not sure about US cup measurements...
hi
thanks to replay.i am asking like in every recipe you said like only cup.can i take as 1 cup = 125 ml for all recipies ?
If i have mentioned 1 cup(that holds 250 ml) and 6 red chillies in a recipe, for example,if you take 1/2 cup(that holds 125ml) then you have to reduce the red chillies according to that,hope you will keep that in mind...you can take it but adjust other ingredient quantity as needed too ... :)
