Peanut podi Peanut Podi for Idli | Verkkadalai Podi


A very tasty breakfast podi has the flavor of peanuts crackle in mouth when tasted with soft idli or dosa...
It is similar to the normal idli podi ( Please take a look at the PODI RECIPE  .) but with some proportional adjustment. I have reduced the amount of black gram ( Ulundu ) and chickpeas ( kadalai paruppu) and added some slow roasted peanuts without skin.
For 1 cup of the podi, add 2 quarters of whole black gram and chickpeas with 1/2 cup of peanuts.






Recipe:
  • Prep time - 20 mins
  • Cooking time - 20 mins ( roasting time)
Ingredients:
  • Split chickpeas - 1/4 cup ( 85 gms)
  • Black gram - 1/4 cup ( 85 gms)
  • Peanuts - 1/2 cup ( 170 gms), slowroasted and skin removed
  • Asafetida - 1 teaspoon
  • Dry Red chillies - 20 to 26 numbers ( depending upon the heat level)
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil few drops
Method:
  • Dry roast by adding 2 to 3 drops of oil each ingredient over low/medium flame.
  • Cool it down completely.
  • Grind all the ingredients dry in a blender.
  • Serve with or without oil along with the dosa, idli.
