Andhra Style-Kandi Podi/Paruppu Podi

Kandi podi is otherwise called as Paruppu podi. It tastes absolutely delicious. Many of my friends (including those who are not from Andhra) have tasted this powder/podi and were happy about the outcome. For me it will be handy when I am tired or sick or not in a mood to cook. I got this recipe from my Andhra friend. I loved it so much because of the garlic flavor, so thought of sharing it here. Today let us learn the Andhra style of making Paruppu podi using this easy recipe.

Black pepper can also be added. But see to that you check for spiciness coz I have added lots of red chillies. This podi is very delicious with hot steamed rice and ghee.
You can prepare this podi without toor dal also. Use just fried gram and reduce the number of chillies and garlic.
Do not over roast or burn the spices. Roast on low flame only.
Curry leaves have to be washed and dried in the shade for a couple of hours before roasting them on low flame.
