My all time fav. The sesame adds a great flavour to the podi..

I do make chutneys with idli.. but have seen many of my south Indian friends enjoying idli with podi.

since, it can be stored for a while, I guess it comes in handy when you dont have time to make chutney..

Can have two more idlies or dosas with this podi, my favourite one.

Suma Gandlur said...

That one is a flavorful podi to go with idlis and dosas.

I love to sprinkle pods masala on hot steaming idlis. I was searching for a good pod masala recipe but most were just too complicated. I like your simple and easy recipe. Bookmarking it.

I?m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that?s
equally educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you've
hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few people are speaking intelligently about.
Now i'm very happy I found this during my hunt for something regarding this.
