    I always make idli podi like my mom does. It's very simple and flavourful.

    Love asafoetida/ perungayam smell along with dal and red chilli in idli podis the best.

    But had long time wish to try idli podi with a little of coriander seeds/ dhaniya in it.

    I remembered my sis-in-law here had a different recipe, but it was very different one with more dhaniya, which I should try some other time.

    As of now, I adapted the recipe from here and tried it. Now I should restrict myself without over eating idli dosa with podi.

    Red chilli used in the recipe is according to my family preference. Please reduce or increase depending on yours and chilli's spice level.

    The one I use is always mild spice so I use more. For more attractive bright red podi, you can try using half of kashmiri chilli or baydige chilli.

    Either way, first grind red chilli to fine powder before grinding dal. This way the colour will be more brighter.

    Also grinding dals coarse plays important role in colour. If you powder the dals too fine, it will become pale in colour.
