Chutney dal podi | Pottukadalai podi recipe – with full detailed video in Tamil and step by step pictorial instructions.
Once in a while when we all friends meet for a weekday lunch, we just pool at any one of the friend’s houses with the items which we cooked on that day and will have fun and of course overeating also. One of our friends makes varieties of podis | powders. She always keeps a good stock of them. Many times she will pack and send those powders on the day she makes it. I asked her the recipe of Chutney podi, which is made with simple 3 ingredients. It is very easy and handy to carry on days when you travel for a holiday. You can get rice and yogurt and mix with this podi and can have with chips. So ladies out there even if you are going to your mom’s place for vacation, make chutney podi and keep this for your hubby. So here is the recipe for the easy chutney podi .
Pottukadalali podi | Chutney dal podi
Ingredients
- ½ cup Pottukadalai | chutney dal

Instructions
- In a pan, add oil and saute the red chilli till it turns brown.

Notes
- You can add 1-2 garlic pods while grinding to enhance the taste.
- Pottukadalai and kopra are slightly on the sweeter side, so do not lessen the red chilies.
