Cooking web notes

                      I love kothamalli  podi  the best of all podi varieties….If we mix this with hot fluffy rice and sesame oil and have one sutta appalam  by side….nothing can beat!! I never made this after my marriage,so when my mom visited my place,I noted down the recipe and made. My hubby and me enjoy this a lot,especially when we have rice for dinner.

Ingredients:

Dhaniya(vara kothamalli)	3/4 cup
Red chili	2 nos.
Pepper	2 tsp
Jeera	1 tsp
Garlic flakes	2-3
Salt	To taste

Method:

1. Dry roast Dhaniya till nice aroma rises,it should not be burnt,but roasted evenly till it starts browning.
2. Roast red chili,pepper and jeera separately and cool down everything.
3. Grind all the roasted items along with salt and add the garlic run the mixer once or twice.
4. Store in an air tight container,can use for a month even when kept in the shelf temperature.
