    Dear krishnamma,

    Hope you don't mind my adding one more podi. i made this when my husband was having indigestion problem.
    Pepper jeera podi,

    1-2 tblsp Black pepper
    1tsp omam.
    1-2 tblsp. jeera.
    3 Red chilies
    1tblsp urad dal
    Asafoetida
    Tamarind little. say 2 marble size,
    Salt
    Oil​

    Dry roast jeera, omam, black pepper until raw smell goes off. then in a little oil fry the chilly and urad dal and asafoetida. then in a mixie, run the chilli, tamarind salt.to this add the roasted pepper, jeera, omam and salt. and run. let the powder be coarse.​

    add this to hot rice, with til oil/ghee. it really is good for gas, indigestion.​

    This along with jeera rasam, paruppu togaiyal, sutta appalam is a gr8 combo.:wink:

    Cumin Powder (jeera)

    Ingredients

    cumin seeds

    Method

    Choose plump, brown, aromatic cumin seeds.

    Warm them a bit in a kadai or in a switched off oven, before grinding.

    Dry grind in a mixer, till crushed fine.

    Since crushed cumin tends to lose its flavour fast, grind just enough for a fortnight or so.

    Cardamom Powder

    Ingredients

    cardamom (ilaichi)

    Method

    Remove the lump of blackish seeds from the cardamom

    Grind them to a powder.

    The skins are either discarded or mixed into tea leaves, to give a fine

    smell in the tea.

    Though this is a wonderful way to use the skins, if one has a large quantity,

    then it is liable to go waste
