Since longtime i was planning to post all Masala pudi's / Powders. Somehow i couldn't now I will post one by one every month. Malaka pudi is nothing like Rasam Powder. But it has a touch of Iyengar taste. This pudi / powder is very difficult to prepare from scratch. Need to take all the ingredients very propotionatly and fry it. Later grind it hufff... tedious process isin't?? Well, in the good old days my paati / grandma she used to do it with lot of effort and patience she used hand flourgrinder. After that, my mother goes to shops where machine flour mill are installed.
But, Today's generation need something more easy and fast to suite the current lifestyle . Of course in the grocery store u will get all the ready made products. Nothing is so difficult as our paati or mom's generations right!!! we are so lucky.
Okay let me get into the recipe of this Malka Pudi/ Rasam Powder.My mom taught me to use another method instead of readymade products. I Will be posting both methods now.

Ingredients to Instant Malaka Pudi (Rasam Powder)
