This is a variation of the classic Milagai podi. My brother and I have always loved garlic, so my mother used to make this version of milagai podi for us. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon cooking oil |
1/4 cup split bengal gram (chana dal) |
8 dried red chile peppers |
5 cloves garlic |
1/2 cup fresh curry leaves |
1/4 cup coriander seeds |
2 tablespoons cumin seeds |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a shallow skillet over medium heat; fry the chana dal in the hot oil for about 5 minutes. Stir the red chile peppers, garlic, curry leaves, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds into the dal and continue cooking until the spices are roasted and fragrant, about 3 minutes more. Spread the mixture onto some newspaper to cool to room temperature; grind into a find powder. Season with salt. The powder will keep in an airtight container on the shelf for a few months.
