Notes

  1. You can use fresh or dry coconut. If you are using frozen coconut, thaw at room temperature then use
  2. I would recommend roasting the red chilli along with other ingredients. Always roast the whole red chilli. if you remove the chilli cap, seeds might turn bitter while roasting. remove the cap just before grinding
  3. Cool the groundnut podi completely then store nilakadalai podi in an airtight container with a lid. You can store the podi at room temperature or in the fridge. Podi stays good for 2 weeks. Roast the coconut golden brown for longer shelf life. Always use a dry and clean spoon for longer shelf life
  4. I used guntur red chilli and Kashmiri chilli powder. Adjust the quantity according to your spice. My version of peanut poondu podi is not spicy. It is a kids-friendly spice
  5. I would recommend pulsing the podi for the perfect grainy texture. Mix well after each pulse. Avoid grinding
