Being a South Indian, Dosa and Idli is a staple food in our family. I can literally eat dosa for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Somedays when I'm too lazy to make chutney or sambhar, this podi makes life pretty much easy. This is a simple version of dosapodi with very few ingredients roasted and ground to a coarse powder which is mixed with coconut oil. There is a special way in which we were supposed to serve podi. A small well is made with this podi into which the oil is poured and mixed. Still I love to eat podi this way with dosa or idli.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Urad dal
