Spicy Pudi: Easy and quick to make for Pudi Dosa or Pudi Idlis Ingredients: Split bengal gram – 2 tbsp Split black gram – 2 tbsp Sesame seeds – 1 tbsp Black pepper corns – 15 to 20 Cumin seeds/ Jeera – 3/4 tbsp Curry leaves – 1 sprig Tamarind – 1 small marble size, cleaned and deseeded Jaggery – 1 small piece Turmeric – 1 tsp Dried red chillies – 5 to 8 Fresh coconut – 1/4 cup Oil for roasting Salt to taste Instructions: In a thick bottomed pan, add the split bengal gram, split black gram, tsp of oil and stir fry until they are slightly roasted. Now, add red chillies, fresh coconut, curry leaves and stir fry for a minute or 2. In a blender add sesame seeds, black pepper corns, cumin seeds, tamarind, jaggery, turmeric, salt and the roasted mixture. Blend them well until fine powder. I prefer the mixture to be bit coarse texture for serving with dosas and idlis along with ghee. Enjoy!
