MULTIGRAIN GUN POWDER l MULTIGRAIN MILAGAI PODI

Gun Powder or Milagai Podi is mixed with ghee or oil and served with Idli/Dosa.  This powder I also use it in making dry subzis.

Normally, the Gun Powder is made with Urid dal/Red chilli/Sesame seeds/Asafoetida/Salt/Curry leaves/Coriander seeds.  Some people also add Bengal Gram (Chana dal).

Here I have used Bengal Gram, Urid dal, Moong dal, Masoor dal, Tuvar Dal, White Sesame Seed, Asafoetida, Red chilli.  You can also use  Kulith (Horsegram), Black Pepper, Peanut etc.
