Dry Coconut powder recipe – Perfect podi to mix with hot rice.
This is a very simple recipe I learned from my friend after tasting this in her place one day when we are having lunch together after a tiring day of shopping for groceries. She always keeps a lot of podis that can be mixed with rice and one among them is this Dry coconut powder also known as Kobbari Podi. Will soon share recipes for other varieties of podis also.
