Podi is a South Indian condiment. Andhra-style pappula podi popularly known as kandi chutney is super easy to make. It tastes best when mixed with rice with a dollop of ghee or a few drops of sesame oil. you can also serve paruppu podi as chutney powder with sesame oil for idli | dosai tiffin variety

TIPS TO ROAST RED CHILLI
I would recommend roasting the red chilli along with other ingredients. Always roast the whole red chilli. if you remove the chilli cap, seeds might turn bitter while roasting.
WILL THE PODI TASTE SPICY?
I used Karnataka chilli and pepper. Adjust the chilli quantity according to your spice. My version of Iyer paruppu podi is not spicy.
SHELF LIFE OF dal podi
Cool the podi completely then store it in an airtight container. You can store the premix at room temperature or in the fridge. Podi stays good for months. Always use a dry and clean spoon for a longer shelf life
ALWAYS ROAST IN LOW- medium FLAME
Initially heat the pan on medium flame but Always roast the ingredients on low - medium. Since we roast all the ingredients together it is important to spread them well.
