    Poondu milagai podi recipe | Side dish for idli dosa

    November 14, 2009 by Raks Anand 69 Comments /

    poondu milagai podi
    Both my mom and my mom-in-law makes this,my mom makes this for vendhaya dosai which I feel is a perfect combo,still it tastes great with idly and dosai ! My mom in law makes this as chutney,adding water and making its consistency different.  So its our choice to make it as chutney or a dry podi. I have given the podi,we grind without adding water. Its quite flavorful one,I make it rarely and only in weekends as my hubby don't prefer to smell like garlic in office .

    Poondu milagai podi recipe

    Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Breakfast side dish
    Prep Time:10 mins    |  Cook time: 7 mins     |  Serves: 6

    Ingredients

    Method:

    1. Roast redchillies till deep red and cool down,peel the garlic pods. Give a roast the coconut if it is too tender(milky) I dint do as mine was old coconut.
    2. poondu milagai podi preparation

    3. Grind first salt,coconut and red chillies to coarse powder.
    4. poondu milagai podi

    5. Then add the garlic and use Juice/inch/pulse option in your mixer to just crush the garlic and blend well with the chilli.

    Serve with Idly or dosa with generous sesame oil.

      1 ) do we have to roast the garlic or grind it raw ?
      2 ) how many days can we store this podi ? or we need to refrigerate it or keep it outside ?

      Fry chillies well, coconut a bit u have to fry, garlic, not necessary, if u want to give it a fry, then u can.
      It's stays good for 2-3 days in fridge.
