🧂 What is Dosa Podi?

Dosa podi, also called dosai milagai podi, is a spicy dry chutney powder made from roasted lentils, red chilies, sesame seeds, and spices. It’s typically mixed with ghee or sesame oil and served as a side dish for dosa or idli. The balance of spice, crunch, and aroma makes it truly irresistible.

Ingredient Quantity Urad dal (black gram dal) ½ cup Chana dal (Bengal gram dal) ½ cup Dried red chilies 10–12 (adjust to spice level) White sesame seeds 2 tbsp Asafoetida (hing) ¼ tsp Salt As required Curry leaves Few Oil 1 tsp

🔥 How to Make Dosa Podi Powder

Dry Roast the Ingredients Heat a pan and add urad dal. Roast until it turns golden brown. Remove and keep aside. Similarly, roast chana dal until aromatic.

Add Red Chilies & Curry Leaves In the same pan, add a teaspoon of oil and roast red chilies until crisp. Add curry leaves and roast till they turn dry.

Roast Sesame Seeds Lightly roast white sesame seeds till they pop. Keep aside to cool.

Add Hing & Salt Once all ingredients are roasted and cooled, add asafoetida and salt as per taste.

Grind to Perfection Transfer everything to a blender and grind into a slightly coarse powder (not too fine). Store in an airtight container.
