Curry leaves powder (Karuvepillai podi ) - Preparation time 15 mins
Mom used to make this podi when she get fresh curry leaves from market. After when she moved to native we have lots and lots of curry plants in backyard so she used to make this podi frequently and brings when she visits me and my brother. I once tried differently from her method it came out well. I suggested her she told this method is much more delicious and she stared following it. Hmm i am also able to satisfy elder people :-)
Ingredients:-
Curry leaves - one bunch or two handful
Urad dhal - 2 tbsp
Red chili - 10
Sesame oil - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Preparation method:-
Clean the curry leaves using water and remove the water content buy spreading over dry cloth. Curry leaves should not be wet.
In a kadai (use iron kadai for all the roasting purpose which is health way of cooking) add few drops of oil and add 1/4 portion of curry leaves. Roast the leaves till they become bright green and crisp. Always use low or medium heat for cooking.
Remove the roasted leaves and keep separately. Using this method roast all the curry leaves.
To the same kadai add urad dhal and roast till golden brown(you can smell the nice aroma when the dhal is roasted). Remove the dhal and roast the red chili till it is crisp and dark red in colour.Leave the ingredients to cool down.
In a mixer grind the roasted red chili and remove a table spoon the red chili powder (because if the podi becomes very spicy it will be difficult to consume). Add the roasted urad dhal, curry leave and salt to mixer and ground to coarse powder (before to fine powder stage)
If you want the spice level little bit more now you add the removed red chili and use whipper button to mix the curry leaves podi well.
