Again, I took long break due to kids birthday celebrations, sickness and parties. Today, I came up with an simple podi recipe. In South Indian cuisine, podi recipes are quite famous and are many varieties. Podi means powder. Podi is an coarse powder of different spices.
Sesame seed spice powder / Nuvvula podi goes very well with hot rice, idli, dosa and can be used in some curries like raw papaya curry, Bottle gourd curry and every in some chutney recipes like Goungura(Sour leaves), Beerakaya (Ridge gourd).
