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.
