Pappula podi

Today I am interested in showing very tasty and delicious pappulapodi/putna podi. This pappula podi is easy preparation and takes very little time. In some places it is called gun powder. It is famous in Andhra Pradesh especially in South India.

Ingredients

• Putanalu                                            1/4 kg
• Dry red mirchi                                   8 to 9
• Dry coconut powder                          5 tbsp for 2
• Jeera                                                  1/4 tbsp
• Garlic  flakes                                     6 
• Salt to taste

How I did it
       

       Take a wok, add a drop of oil and let it heat Add all ingredients except salt and roast for 2 to 3 minues on low flame.
Let them cool.

1. Put all the Roasted iningredients and salt in dry mixey and grind it into fine powder.
2. As it is a powder do not add water.
3. See the taste.
4. Store it in the clean air tight tin.
5.  
6.  

This powder stays for a long time. But prepare small quantity to avoid loss of flavor.
We can use this powder for seasoning the vegetable curries.
Prepare dosa and spread the powder on dosa.
We can eat this with upma instead of chutney.
The most tastiest is with combination of rice, avakaya, ghee and putana podi.
