Paruppu Podi/Mixed Lentils Spice Powder

Paruppu Podi is a combination of mixed lentils dryroasted and ground along with dry red chillies and black pepper.Whenever my mom makes a sambar/kuzhambu which I  I don't like ,I resort to this.



Piping hot Rice + A Tsp of sesame oil/Ghee + Paruppu Podi = Delish!!!!!!!



Ingredients:



Toor Dal - 1/2 cup



Channa Dal - 1/4 cup



Dry red chillies - 6(adjust according to your spice level)



Whole Black pepper corns -3 tsp



Salt to taste



I actually doubled the above recipe,but adjusted amount of chillies and pepper corns according to my taste.



Method:



Dry Roast the dhals to a golden brown color.Then dry roast the chillies and black pepper corn seperately.





When cool,grind them to a fine powder adding the required amount of salt.



Serve with hot rice mixed with ghee or sesame oil.
