Very flavorful rice-mix! The most appetizing part of this podi is the aroma, inviting aroma from the roasted/powdered coriander seeds. Mix in a spoonful of this podi with hot rice & ghee and enjoy with morkuzhambu/ kootu/ appalam on the side. Personally, I love to have it with some plain yogurt on the side.. Yum is the word!!

Grind the above ingredients together with salt into a fine powder. It is okay if the podi is a little coarser, gives a nice crunch when eating.
Store it in a dry jar and use only dry spoons for longer shelf life.

- Wait for the ingredients to completely cool down before grinding.
