Idli chutney powder

Idly-Dosa chutney powder has a place in the kitchen of most south indian homes. It is basically a coarse powder of spices and lentils. This spicy and flavourful powder (or podi as we south indians call it) is a perfect side for idlies and dosas especially during lazy weekends. Steam the idly/dosa batter for 10 minutes and combine it with the idly/dosa powder and your healthy home made meal is ready.

There are so many variations to the idly-dosa chutney powder. I have tried many versions but i like this one the best since i like the mild flavour that the garlic imparts. I learnt this method from a friend of mine. She uses raw garlic (which is actually very good) to make the chutney powder, however, i fried it for about 15 seconds before grinding it along with the other ingredients.
