chaaru ( rasam ) podi

whats the easiest thing in the kitchen that you can spin off in a jiffy? ofcourse! you got it right- chaaru or rasam- as i would like to call it.
an amazing appetizer and even better digestive ,it is my all time favourite.

but for making good chaaru, you need good charu podi.and how to make good chaaru podi?

with the following ingredients:

dhaniya 3 cups
jeera( cumin seeds) 1 cup
miriyalu( pepper corns) 1 cup
kandi pappu( toor dal) 1 cup
senaga pappu( chana dal) 1/2 cup
dried red chillies 4-6

there is no roasting or frying that is required for this podi. Just mix in all the ingredients and grind to a powder.

P.S . - If you would like to eliminate the raw flavour of the podi, you may microwave the ingredients for 45 sec on a low wattage before grinding.
