WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT sundal PODI?
Podi is a south Indian condiment. A few spoons of podi make Sundal extra flavorful.
Should I ROAST ALL THE INGREDIENTS one by one?
No, but follow the roasting steps as mentioned else some ingredients might get burnt.
Can I skip oil?
Yes, oil is optional but it makes the podi extra flavorful so I would highly recommend sesame oil.
ROAST till GOLDEN BROWN
Always roast the ingredients in low- medium flame and keep mixing for even roasting. Golden brown roasting makes the podi flavorful and also helps for longer shelf life.
TIPS TO ROAST RED CHILLI
I would recommend roasting the red chilli along with dal. Always roast the whole red chilli. if you crush the chilli, the seeds might turn bitter while roasting.
SHOULD I COOL THE SPICES BEFORE GRINDING?
Yes, it is very important to cool all the roasted ingredients before grinding. It is always recommended to cool the roasted curry podi ingredients on a wide plate so that moisture from steam is not trapped
Grind or pulse
Always pulse the spice powder for sundal. Never grind into a fine powder. Pulsing gives the best texture to the podi.
CAN I pulse ALL THE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER?
Pulse all the ingredients except salt to a coarse mixture then add salt
