Kobbari Podi

Here is one more of my favorite powders. I call it multifunctional powder, because I can eat it with rice, use as a stuffing in the guttivankaya curry, use in different curries as the curry powder and also as the idly karam.

Here goes the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Bengal Gram (పచ్చి సెనగపప్పు)
• ½ cup Dry or Fresh Desiccated Coconut
• Dry Red Chillies as per taste
• A pinch of Asafetida (ఇంగువ)
• Salt to taste

Method:

Dry roast or add little oil to fry all the daals. Add the cumin seeds and inguva at the end. Keep them aside to cool.

Dry roast the red chillies too. Then dry grind them adding salt. It doesn’t have to be very fine.

Adjust the spiciness according to taste. This is very easy to prepare and tastes great too.

You may also add some flakes of garlic to it while grinding. This powder goes well with rice.
