Avasara poondu podi / Avasara garlic podi

Whenever I find little time to prepare chutney for dosa/idly or when no power at home, used to prepare this avasara poondu podi. Very simple and can be prepared in a minute. Same like gun powder, have to mix this with gingelly oil and serve it with dosa/idly. This can be done using mixie or our olden days style mortar and pestle. We normally prepare this without peeling garlic.

Ingredients :

Handful of Garlic pods
1/2 Tbsp Chilli powder
Salt to taste

Method:

Using Mixie :

Add everything and grind coarsely.

Using Mortar and Pestle :


Clean and wipe mortar and pestle.
Add garlic pods and crush them.


Now add chilli powder and salt. Crush and grind coarsely.



Add gingelly oil and serve it with dosa/idly.
