Thengai Milagai Podi is a handy dish which you can use it as a dry chutney powder to serve with idli, dosa etc. You can even mix it with rice, drizzle some sesame oil and enjoy with some arisi vadaam or banana chips. I have already shared a recipe to make Idli milagai podi which is widely used in our South Indian homes. Thengai Milagai podi is another version where we use roasted coconut.
My blog is all about easy cooking, recipes and dishes which I experiment in my kitchen. I learnt cooking from my mom and some recipes passed on from my grandma, mother-in-law, aunts etc. So many fond memories, recipes and I love writing about it. So, here’s another easy recipe to make some delicious podi made with coconut, lentil and spices.
