Idli Milagai Podi | Andhra Idli Karam Podi | Side Dish For Idli Dosa


Idli podi or gunpowder as it is popularly known is a flavorful spice powder that accompanies idli, the healthy south Indian breakfast. Even if there are umpteen side dishes/chutneys, this idli podi occupies a special place.  You can finish off an entire plate of idlis with just this flavorful podi.

There are so many variations to this podi depending on individual tastes.  Some add bengal gram, dry coconut, garlic, sesame seeds, etc.

I am presenting here the basic version of the Idli milagai podi.
