Idli milagai podi / Kara podi

Idli podi or ulutham paruppu milagai podi, we call it as a dry spicy powder mixes with ghee or sesame oil, used as an accompaniment for idli and dosas. This is authentic recipe which I learnt from my moms, and she in-turn learnt from my grandmother.

In my in- laws side also same, expect some few changes..... This is so very different from store bought powder. This is very aromatic, flavourful, spicy, and tasty powder a lot better than the store dought one....
