Colors of Taste - Powders: Podi's as an Accompaniment

Kariveppilai podi, parippu podi, idli podi, dosa podi, Chammanthi Podi, Kobbari Kaaram list goes on and on. These myriad spice blends can change a simple dosa, idli, a bowl of rice into something totally out of this world. An integral part of South Indian cuisine and homes, it would be remiss to say that it is only enjoyed by the south Indians. These powdered goodness are made from roasted fresh/ dry ingredients or from freshly ground spice / ingredients. These versatile podis have a very good shelf life making it a must have at not only at bachelor Pads but also in our our busy homes. These podi are generally had along with Ghee, Sesame seed oil.
With so many types of Podi that are made at our homes it is not surprise that this month's theme is

Podi's as an Accompaniment

It could be for rice, Idli, Dosa or any other way you have these podi's. You get the idea - any podi that you would make that can be directly consumed qualifies for this event.
