Idli Milaga Podi/ Tiffin Podi a dry, spicy dal powder mixed with oil gives a perfect condiment for all South-Indian breakfast recipes.

This is a best condiment for South Indian breakfast like Idli ,Dosa , Rava Dosa,Masala Dosa,Uttapam etc. This simple easy recipe consists of Dals,Dry chillies,Sesame seeds, Asafoetida and salt to taste. It takes only few minutes to prepare this delicious Podi . Here I’m sharing my Grand Mother’s recipe which is less spicy than my recipe. I always like to tweak the recipe by adding different Dal each time to the Idli Podi recipe which I will be sharing .

Every household has their own variations of this Recipe. This Idli podi is always a great alternate for Sambhar or Chutneys for Idli or Dosa. Just spend few minutes to prepare,grind to a coarse powder and store it in an airtight container .Whenever,you want to consume just mix it with oil ( individuals choice of oil) or melted Ghee and relish it . I always love to eat with hot steamed idli and Kal Dosa ( it is nothing but dosa made it thick and small). My Hubby loves to have Idli Podi /Idli milaga Podi /Tiffin Podi with Hot steamed Idli . Soaking Idli with Idli Podi and oil is perfect for lunch boxes. Lets jump to the recipe with step by step preparation.
