Default House Made - Ready Made Powders To Make Cooking Easy

1 . Kuttu Podi

In South Indian Samayal Kuttu is also one important thing. So when ever we make kuttu, we have to fry the ingredients and grind it with coconut. Then add that in cooked vegetable and dhal. Instead of that, make kuttu podi and keep it in the fridge. When ever you are going to prepare kuttu use this.


1 cup of Udad dhal
15 – 20 red chilly
A small tea spoon of Hing asafoetida
Desiccated coconut powder ¼ cup

Grease the pan and put the ingredients with out hing and coconut. Fry them till udad dhal becomes red. Put it in the mixer and grind it. Add hing powder and coconut and mix well.
Keep it in the fridge. When ever you are going to prepare kuttu, pressure cook vegetable and dhal. Make thadaka and add this kuttu podi in that as per your requirement and mix well. Add salt, coriander leaves and curry leaves. With in one min. you can remove the kuttu from the heat.

Note: You can use Beans, Carrot, Chow Chow, Pumpkin, Cabbage etc to prepare this kuttu. And you can use Thur dhal or Split Moong dal to prepare this.




2. Dosa Miligal Podi

We prepare this as a side dish for dosa. You can prepare this and keep for months.

1 Cup Udad dhal
1 Cup Channa dhal
25 – 35 Red chilly
1 small spoon Hing
Salt as per your taste

Fry all the ingredients with out salt and Hing and grind in the mixer.
Add salt and Hing mix well and use as side dish for dosa and idly.
