Idli/dosai milagai podi (Gun powder in Brahmin jargon)

Idli/Dosai milagai podi


In most homes, idli and dosai are eaten with chutney and sambar. But you always find a bowl of milagai podi too to add on to the taste. In my home idli milagai podi is a must! This is a recipe which I learnt from my neighbour in Mumbai 30 years ago.


Ingredients
