POONDU IDLI PODI RECIPE |
STARTUP COOKING
Poondu Idli Podi – a flavorful podi made of roasted garlic, bengal gram dal, urad dal, red chillies and curry leaves. This is one of the comfort side dish recipe for morning breakfast in Tamil Nadu. During school days, 50% of all the school lunch boxes were packed with sesame oil coated podi Idly. In our house, we all need this podi even if there is chutney for Idly.
Poondu Idli Podi is easy to prepare and goes very well with Idli, dosa, uthappam and rice. This podi tastes little spicy and very flavorful to the mouth. For making podi idli, mix the idli podi with sesame oil and apply all over the idli and sprinkle the idli podi on top of the uthappam or dosa to make the recipe more delicious.
