    Sundal Podi is a flavorful spice powder widely used for traditional south Indian sundal varieties. podi stays good for weeks. Easy homemade sundal powder with pantry ingredients.

    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

    SHELF LIFE OF sundal  masala PODI

    Always cool the podi then store in an airtight container with a lid. You can store the podi at room temperature or in the fridge. Podi stays good for around 3 weeks. Always use a dry and clean spoon for longer shelf life.
