Curry Pudi / Powder
June 24, 2008
Curry pudi is not a curry or gravy powder. This is completely different this is nothing like chutney powder.. Have it with hot plain rice & salt with 1 tsp oil. along with rasam dal. Amazing taste . If you get bored to make rasam, koottu, sambar etc., OR if you have gone out and come back home hungry but bored to make something this pudi/powder will be ideal. Just have this with plain rice . But unlike chutney powder this curry pudi/powder is not suitable for dosa , idli. I usually prepare this and store it. When i get bored to make do some elaborate cooking :). Just i will have this with some rice. Simple life ... Simple food...

Hi Vanamala, have never heard about a podi called by this name, tho' I may have eaten this. I'm intrigued that it only goes well with rice and not for dosa or idli!
Nice recipe! I call it "Karuveppalai Podi". I used to to hoard it from Ambika Appalam stores in Chennai but now I think I can make some on my own :)
nice recipe vanamala
