E for Endu kobbari Podi
Posted by Ratnavalli on September 27, 2006
I was thinking of what recipe to write for E , and trust me I did not remember a single curry/pachadi/pulusu .All I can remember was pickles like endu aavakaya,endu maagaya and endu kobbari podi.That’s all.
I never made endu aavakaya/maagaya (yes I ate them a lot), so I don’t have a choice of recipes for E except Endu kobbari Podi.
Ingredients:
Endukobabri ( Dry coconut) pieces: 1 cup
Dhaniyaalu (Coriander seeds) :1/2 cup
Senagapappu (Split chick peas): 1/2 cup
Minappappu (Black gram) 1/2 cup
Endu mirchi (Red chillies dried): 12
Hing: 1 pinch
Salt as per taste
Karivepaaku (curry leaves): 3 strings
Oil 1 tsp
Method:
Dry roast Dhaniyalu,Senagapappu and Minappappu ,take them in a wide plate and let them cool.
Slightly roast Kobabri also, let it cool along with pappulu in the same plate.
Roast in a tsp oil curry leaves and Red chillies.Put them in the plate along with Dhaniyalu and pappulu.
After they cool, grind them to a fine powder along with salt and hing.
This tastes excellent with Rice, Idly and Dosa.

Hi Ratna gaaru,
I tried your recipe with a slight variation….I added a touch of tamarind to your composition and it tasted great…. I can get only Srilankan grated coconut powder here in Korea which is very very sweet. A touch of tamarind will level the sweetness of coconut….I ate this podi with AMEOBA shaped butter dosas.:(
