Idli Podi, Milagai podi, Gun powder – Flavorful and delicious spice powder made with roasted lentil and spices

Idli podi, Milagai podi or malgapodi/ Gun Powder  is a popular powder/chutney/podi of every south Indian kitchen.It is a nice accompaniment to serve with dosa , idli, adai and vada. When ever I go to any south Indian restaurant  I love the malgapodi / gun powder more then the chutnies served with idli and dosas. A south Indian friend of mine shared her family recipe with me.
In Tamil chilies are refereed as Milagai and powder is Podi so this delicious hot powder is named  Milagai Podi.
Though there are many recipes to make Milagai podi and every family has their own traditional family recipe of making Idli Podi but the main ingredients remains the same, just different ratios of ingredients or few more or less ingredients to be added . Addition of tamarind , jaggery and curry leaves is optional in Milagai podi  ,you can add or skip them .

  • Adai Dosa
  • Tamarind Rice
  • Set Dosa
  • Ginger Chutney
  • Puli Milagai
