Idly Podi 100gm
Idli podi recipe with step by step pics. Idli podi is also known as milagai podi and is a dry condiment served with idlis or dosa or uttapam. This recipe is easy to make, as you just have to roast and then grind everything together. This is also a vegan recipe.
It is also used as a chutney substitute while travelling or for tiffin or lunch boxes. Basically idli milagai podi is a dry powder made with lentils and red chilies. There is some spiciness and heat in a typical milagai podi. There is a variation of idli podi called as gun powder which is spicy and includes more red chilies as well as garlic.
In the Tamil language, the word milagai means red chilies and podi means powder. Idli podi is always mixed with some sesame oil or ghee and then served with idli, dosa or uttapam.
There is a dish called Podi idli where idlis are smeared with a mix of idli podi and sesame oil or ghee.
Now after describing what is idli podi and what it is made up of, let me tell you its taste. There is a slight crunch in it from the roasted lentils and the earthy, smoky, pungent, nutty taste of everything is all felt at once when you dip the idlis in a mixture of podi and sesame oil. If you have had idli podi like me many times, then you know how addictive and tasty it is.
The idli podi recipe, I am sharing is a recipe that I have been making for many years now. There is always a small jar of idli podi in my house. Even though I make both coconut chutney and sambar to go with idlis, podi is a must.
