Dal Powder / Pappulu Podi

      Ma used to prepare Chutney Powder at home of 2 to 3 varieties. They were delicious, mixed with Ghee, went very well with Chapathi or Roti. But this is not the best combi with rice. The best Dal Powder I've had with Rice is from Andhra Cuisine. Pappulu Podi is a part of their daily food, a must have. Once u taste it, ur addicted for life. A very well blended mixture of spice and Dals. Yet again simple food rules the roost. A quickie, yummy delight.

Ingredients: 

> Channa Dal / Bengal Gram - 4 fistfuls
> Dry Red Chillies - 10 - 15, adjust according to taste
> Jeera / Cumin Seeds - 2 tsp
> Garlic cloves - 2 - 3 / 2 tsp
> Dry Coconut Powder / Dry Coconut grated - 3 tsp
> Aam Chur Powder / Dry mango powder  - 1 tsp
> Salt - 1 tsp, adjust according to taste

  • Dry roast each ingredient separately in a Pan, except Aam Chur Powder and Salt.
  • Add the dry roasted ingredients in a Blender. Add Salt and Aam Chur to the Blender and blend to a coarse powder.
  • Mix Pappulu Podi with Rice and then add Ghee to the Rice and mix well and Enjoy.
  • This dish does not require more salt, hence advise caution. This powder can be stored in an air tight container for at least a month and need not be refrigerated.
