Curry leaves idly powder

Idly podi or powder is a best condiment for hot idly and dosai. There are many brands of idly powder available in market and are prepared with various ingredients. But nothing can replace any home made idly powder. I used to get fresh curry leaves from our local market and I always think of making fresh idly podi with it. Finally I did it this time. Here is the recipe for curry leaves idly powder which came very flavorful with ultimate taste.

Notes:

  • Do not over roast curry leaves and dhal mixtures otherwise it will get burnt smell in the powder.
  • You can increase or decrease red chillies as per your taste.
  • After roasting dhal mixtures and curry leaves, immediately remove from the pan and cool them in a plate or paper. Otherwise dhal and curry leaves will turn black due to over heat.
