Paruppu Podi Recipe | Lentils Powder

         Paruppu podi- a traditional south Indian lentils powder/mix ,served along with ghee or gingelly oil.I personally love it with ghee more than gingelly oil.My mom makes idli podi quite often but not paruppu podi.So i got this recipe from my mother in law.She got to know many Brahmin's style recipe from her neighbours.

     Some people mix other paruppu/lentils too to make paruppu podi,but we call it as idli podi rather than paruppu podi.If you want mix of lentils then better check my idli podi post.I like paruppu podi as a fine powder.You can make it coarse too.
If you are making home made powders then check garam masala powder , useful for any north indian curries.

Note:
  • I added around 1 tsp salt for this amount of podi.To make the podi with less salt reduce the spice level.
