I like my spice powders freshly ground, like sambar powder, rasam powder and some other spices powder like this koora podi. when you add this freshly ground spice powder to your curry that gives a special aroma to your curry. When you make them in large quantity, they will stay for long time but the flavor will disappear. Yes when make and store it for long it helps to cook your food fast but freshly ground masala s makes a Lot's of difference. This koorapodi is one among them.
This koora podi you can use for Vankaya pulusu and vankaya podi koora, and raw plantain stir fry, cluster beans pulusu and also for some kootus. If you like to add this podi to kootus the add a piece of dry coconut when grinding. So let's check the recipe.
INGREDIENTS:---
Chana dal --- 1/2 cup
Urad dal --- 1/4 cup
Cumin seeds --- 1 tab sp
Coriander seeds --- 1 tab sp
