Dhaniya Powder / Daniya Pudi / Podi / Coriander Powder

Dhaniya powder thats used for making Masala Sambar or for Non Veg dishes is a mix of various Spices, roasted and finely powdered. Many of the store bought Dhaniya powder is powder of Raw Dhaniya which used for many dishes would give a raw smell. Therefore a home made Dhaniya powder is the best.
