How do you like to eat Idli,Dosa with Chuntey, Sambar or Idli-Dosa Podi -Chutney Powder? I raise my hands for Idli podi. Yes, I love the combination Idli with Podi. So today post is dedicated to all Idli-Dosa Podi -Chutney powder fans like me.
Chutney Powder-Idli Dosa Podi are a part of Indian cuisine. Its served along with the breakfast dishes or even with hot plain steamed rice. This idli podi recipes is a healthy time-saver and always in stock in almost all the houses in South India. They don’t vary much from state to state, but there are always a few tweaks here and there.
Idli-Dosa Podi is also called as milagai podi or malgapodi in Tamilnadu. We call this dry chutney powder as podi or dosha podi in our home. In my home town we have tweaked version of this podi-powder called chammandi podi. Today I’m sharing Tamilnadu style chutney podi which is little different from our Kerala chammanthi podi.
This idli podi recipe is made with roasted lentil and spices and very handy dish which you can serve with Idli, Dosa, Ada dosa, etc. The chuntey powder-podi mixed with sesame oil or coconut oil gives uniuqe taste. If you haven’t tried yet, I highly recommend you give it try.

- Add the red chillies and keep roasting on low flame until the dal turns a golden brown. Keep stirring and don't let it burn. (Note : It's up to you to decide how dark you want it to roasts.My mom roast it until a deep golden brown.)
- Now add the garlic cloves (if using) and raost it for a minute or so.Switch off flame when done, remove the pan from fire, and add the hing, salt. Mix well and set aside to cool completely in the same pan.
- Once cool, ground it to fine powder and store in an airtight container.(Note : The consistency of the powder is your choice. You can grind it either coarse or fine but we grind it fine.) Mix them with gingely oil or coconut oil and serve with Idli or Dosa, Enjoy!
Notes
Do not to over-roast red chilli. Always keep the fire on low and keep stirring continuously.
The consistency of the powder is your choice. You can grind it either coarse or fine but traditionally it is fine.
After grinding, allow the powder to cool and then store in an airtight container.
Keeps well at room temperature for up to 2-3 months. I keep it for longer in the refrigeratore.

Hi sangeetha ur recipes are simple and easy to follow. I became a fan of urs. I think garlic is used as a anti gassing agent because of the dals used up. I would definitely use garlic and my mother too adds garlic in her podi
Sangeetha…forgot one thing..I hv tasted another model of idli podi..which taste a little sweet..its fantastic without oil..but I dont know the recipe..they revealed only one thing.the sweet taste is due to jaggery..
If u know about such a version, pls share..
with love,
jayasree
