Paruppu Podi/Mixed Lentils Spice Powder

Paruppu Podi is a combination of mixed lentils dryroasted and ground along with dry red chillies and black pepper.Whenever my mom makes a sambar/kuzhambu which I  I don't like ,I resort to this.

Piping hot Rice + A Tsp of sesame oil/Ghee + Paruppu Podi = Delish!!!!!!!

Ingredients:

Toor Dal - 1/2 cup

Channa Dal - 1/4 cup

Dry red chillies - 6(adjust according to your spice level)

Whole Black pepper corns -3 tsp

Salt to taste

I actually doubled the above recipe,but adjusted amount of chillies and pepper corns according to my taste.

Method:

Dry Roast the dhals to a golden brown color.Then dry roast the chillies and black pepper corn seperately.


When cool,grind them to a fine powder adding the required amount of salt.

Serve with hot rice mixed with ghee or sesame oil.
