Table of Content

The Milagai Podi, fondly called “Gun Powder” by south Indian food fans, is an all-time favourite accompaniment to idlis and dosas. When a spoonful of the powder is served, spice lovers fondly make a small hole in its centre, add a spoonful of til oil or ghee into it, and mix gently with their index finger, to make a chutney like paste with a fresh and irresistible aroma. Some even like to coat their idlis with this powder before packing in a lunch box. You can vary the spiciness of this powder by varying the quantity of chillies, and you can also decide whether you want to grind it smoothly or coarsely. Coarsely powdered Milagai Podi has a wonderful texture similar to hand-pounded masalas and is favoured by many. Store the powder in a glass or earthen jar in a cool and dry place away from sunlight. It can be used for more than a month.
