Cooking Steps
Roasting:
Step 1 :
Wash the curry leaves thoroughly and wipe together using a cotton cloth till dry.
Step 2 :
Spread them on a plate or paper and let them sun dry till crisp. You can also gently dry roast them in a kadai till they turn crispy.
Step 3 :
Set aside one large kadai to roast and 2 wide vessels to pour and let all the roasted ingredients cool. One vessel is for roasted dals, and the other is for the rest. Make sure the vessels are clean and dry.
Step 4 :
Take the kadai for roasting and place it on a low flame. Make sure the kadai is completely dry before adding ingredients to roast.
Step 5 :
Add chana dal and roast till golden on a low-medium flame. Adjust the flame and roast with continuous stirring to avoid burning. Pour into the dedicated vessel to cool.
Step 6 :
Repeat the same process to roast urad dal. Pour into the dedicated vessel to cool.
Step 7 :
In a bowl, mix the jaggery powder, hing, and tamarind paste.
Step 8 :
After roasting dry coconut till light brown, add in the above mixture and blend well.
Step 9 :
Take a mix of Guntur and Byadagi chilli and adjust the number of chillies based on your preference. Add 2 tsp oil into the kadai and toss in the chillies.
Step 10 :
Roast them till they puff up and start turning brownish. Make sure they don’t get burnt.
Grinding:
Step 1 :
First, coarsely grind the roasted chana and urad dal and set it aside.
Step 2 :
Next coarsely grind the rest of the ingredients together in batches. Splitting them in batches will help grind them to powder well and consistently. You can plan this based on the size of your mixer jar.
Step 3 :
Now, combine both the powders and add salt to taste.
Step 4 :
Based on how fine you would like the podi, grind the whole mix again in batches.
Tip:
Step 1 :
Keep the flame low and stir frequently to roast uniformly.
Step 2 :
All the ingredients need to be golden to light brown once roasted. If they turn dark brown or blackish, they are on the verge of being burnt.
Step 3 :
Make sure to cool all the ingredients well before grinding. This will help avoid the building of moisture that can ruin the powder’s storage span.
Step 4 :
Lastly, store the powder in an airtight container in a cool and dry place.
