Pottukadalai poondu podi

This is one of my favourite podis. Podis come handy when I have no mood to cook. I got this recipe from my friend, she used to bring it during college days...Now feeling nostalgic abt those days.

Pottukadalai poondu podi
Ingredients
Pottu kadalai - 1 cup
Red Chillies - 3-4 depends on the spicy level
Garlic cloves - 6-8 cloves
1/2 tbsp oil
Salt to taste

The spice level can be totally reduced to make it kid friendly!

Method
1. Add oil to kadai, roast pottukadalai for 3mins, add the above rest and saute till its slighly brown.
2. Remove from flame and allow it to cool.
3. Grind into a slightly coarse powder, Add salt to taste.

This goes well with idlis or rice....Hot idlis + Garlic podi = Bliss!!
