Print Friendly and PDF

IDLI MILGAI PODI
This is my mom's idli milagai podi recipe with garlic. I love this idli podi. I like the one with sesame seeds as well. But my husband & my daughter likes idli podi with garlic. I learnt this recipe from my mom.When I was in school and college, I used to carry mostly idli or dosa with this podi for lunch . I love to eat this more than rice varieties. My doter is also the same like me Winking smile. I’ll soon post my favourite sesame seeds/ Ellu version with dal Smile. Please refer notes section for variations..

INGREDIENTS
1 cup - 250ml
  • White round urad dal – 1/2 cup
  • Chana dal – 1/4 cup
  • Red chillies – 15-20 nos
  • Hing/Asafetida – 1/4 tsp
  • Garlic cloves – 12 nos (Peel the skin & chop into small pieces)
  • Curry leaves - few
  • Salt – As needed
  • Cooking oil – 2 tsp

METHOD
  • Heat a kadai with 2 tsp of oil and roast the dals adding hing till u get a nice golden color & aroma.Add few curry leaves at the end and saute well.
  • Remove the dals in a plate. In the same kadai , roast the red chillies. in medium flame till it becomes crispy. Make sure you don’t burn them.
  • Once everything cools down, grind it to a coarse powder running twice. Then add the salt & peeled ,chopped garlic pieces.Grind it again to make a slightly coarse or fine powder as you like.
  • Store in an air-tight box and enjoy with idli/dosa ! It stays good for 2 weeks with nice garlic flavor.

Garlic flavoured idli podi is ready !! Add sesame oil while serving.
IDLI PODI PLATE

NOTE
  • Adjust the amount of red chillies based on ur taste.
  • Garlic pieces will be ground well even when u add at the end. If u want, u can add it along with dals & red chillies.
  • My mil makes the same podi adding hing alone. It also tastes good. Try for variation.Add more hing when u try this version.
  • Sometimes I add few curry leaves while frying the dals which gives a nice flavour.

hi chitra,
Love your receipes. The way you tell is v.simple and provokes the reader to try it.

i have a question , won't adding garlic to the mixture while grinding not make the powder wet ?

Thanks,
Girija S

Chitra said...

Thank you so much for your sweet words:) Here we are chopping garlic into small pieces and the quantity of powder will be more than the garlic. so the powder won't become wet. Grind the cloves at the end after grinding the powder coarsely. It will come out well :)
