Paruppu Podi, a spicy dal powder that goes well over steaming hot rice with a dollop of ghee. I had tasted paruppu podi few times at my friend's place during my college day and few other times in restaurants. Though i like it, i couldn't imagine eating the whole rice with just paruppu podi, i can only have few mouthful of rice with paruppu podi, that was my limit until i tried on my own.

And also we never had paruppu podi in our home while we grew up, hence i never attempt to try on own until ST told me that he like paruppu podi a lot. So i started to make paruppu podi at home for his sake and now even i like it so much over hot rice with the drizzle of ghee. I have tried many recipe for this paruppu podi, some with garlic, some with roasted chana dal and each own have its own taste & flavor, but the recipe that i'm sharing today is without garlic, still it's so flavorful and taste best with rice, sometimes i even like to have them with idly or dosa too. Without further delay let's check out the recipe, but if you want to know what i have prepared for past 3 days under "No onion No garlic" theme, here they are
Day 1 - Manthanga Pulissery
Day 2 - Kuthiraivali Pongal
Day 3 - Dal Tadka

Notes:
  • Roasting each dal separately helps to roast them evenly without burning.

  • Don't let the dal cool completely. Grind till it's warm,it helps to grind easily.

  3. Podi and rasam along with steaming rice and ghee was my all time fav during my growing up years. So this podi falls in that category. Very flavorful.

  5. Traditionaly there are no podis in our cuisine and the first time I ate podi and rice with ghee..i fell in love, but of course it is to a certain level. I am loving this podi and rice, and wish I could enjoy this simple yet flavorful meal. Great pick for no onion no garlic theme.

  6. The first time I ate paruppu podi was in an Andhra thali and loved it so much. But I have never attempted to make it at home. This looks delicious and with ghee and rice, it would be so yum..

  8. My mom makes similar podi too Sandhiya. We call it gun powder because it’s spicy and clears up the sinuses :-) Love it with rice and a generous dollop of ghee.

  9. I first got introduced to the variety of podi when I had podi idli at a restaurant in Bangalore. I bought a packet of the ready made one and used it top anything and everything. Last week made some at home, no idea what type of podi its called. I like this no garlic version.

  13. This dal podi sounds simple but I am sure must have tasted amazing with piping hot rice and some ghee.

  14. Our classic paruppu podi does not have any garlic in it and that is what I ate growing up. Then I tasted the Poondu paruppu podi and got hooked to its flavor. Whenever I get a chance I alwasy end up making the one with the garlic now. Love your clicks Sandhiya!
