Paruppu Podi / Dhall Powder

Paruppu Podi or Dhall Powder

Paruppu podi is a readymix dhall powder which comes handy to everyone when we don't find time to cook or when we don't have any veggies available, or on a lazy day. We can have it with rice and a raitha as side-dish will do the lunch on that day. We ladies prepare it as per our taste and have our own method to prepare it. Here I'm giving the method which I follow how I learnt from my Amma and Mother-in-law.
