Paruppu podi we make generally without adding garlic. I have posted the recipe of paruppu podi HERE . This recipe of andhra style paruppu podi | kandi podi, i learnt from my friend. I have already posted a Pottukadalai podi too. This podi was too flavourful. I didn’t make it very spicy but if you want you can add extra few red chilly. This is a simple and quick podi recipe, taste divine when mixed with hot rice and ghee.
