I always stock 3-4 podi varieties in my kitchen, so that it will come handy when I am tired or sick or not in a mood to cook. I have already posted the Tamil style of making paruppu podi without garlic. I got this recipe from my Andhra friend. I loved it so much because of the garlic flavor, so thought of sharing it here. Today let us learn the Andhra style of making Paruppu podi using this easy recipe.

Ingredients needed
Tur dal – 1 cup
Fried gram – 1 cup (putanalu pappu)
Garlic – 2 full pods or (50-70 grams)
Cumin seeds/jeera – 1 tsp
Red chillies – 8-10
Hing – 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves – few (optional)
Salt as required
Oil -1/4 tsp
Method
Dry roast tur dal on medium flame stirring continuously, until it turns golden brown. Add hing, cumin seeds, curry leaves and fry for a few more minutes. Leave it to cool.
Dry roast fried gram (pottukadalai in Tamil) and garlic separately. If you do not like garlic flavor, use less garlic.
Heat 1/4 tsp of oil and fry red chillies. Then grind everything together coarsely with salt needed.
This podi is very delicious with hot steamed rice topped with a tsp of ghee. You just have to prepare any vegetable curry or papads as a side dish for this.
Variation – You can prepare this podi without tur dal also. Use just fried gram and reduce the number of chillies and garlic.

Thanks for your recipe. I have tried paruppu podi before, but the pottu kadalai addition was a twist. It turned out very well.
We tried this paruppu podi today and it cameout extremely good.Me & my roommates enjoyed having it with hot rice and top of it with ghee.The combo is too yummy to have &delicious taste.
When we were in chennai,myself and my friends used to go to the andra meals restaurant(opp to big bazzar,tnagar)often and we like the paruppu podi from there verymuch.now this recipe is too good and very very tasty that we can make anytime at our place and it is very handy for bachelors like us.thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

i've been doing this for past 2 weeks and my 7 years old daughter just loves this. I've slighly changed the recipe by using black pepper instead of red chilli and adding nuts like almond, walnut, pista, cashew and peanuts. It is really yummy 🙂
Hi! Have always been fascinated by your versatile recipes and the clear cut way of explaining. One of my blog readers had asked for paruppu podi recipe and I have suggested your link. Congrats on the wonderful job.
Hello mam,, just want to clarify whether can we keep refrigerated these powders or it has to be kept in room temperature..
Aruna Sridar – You do not have to refrigerate. It stays good at room temperature, but handle it with care. Do not use wet spoon to take the podi etc
Hi. I Iove podi from andhra mess.. I culdnt find in my place.. Is that above receipe same as of from andhra mess?
Hi. This recipe is nice. I tried it and came well.
Can we replace fried gram with channa dal ( kadalai paruppu in tamil)?
It is fried gram (pottukadalai) which gives a nice taste to the Andhra podi. So do not replace it with channa dal.
Padhu. Should I use 2 full garlic for just one cup of both the dhall. For 1 kg each of both the shall how many garlic should I use
Yes, you must use 2 full garlic pods for 1 cup of tur dal and fried gram.You must measure how much is 1 cup of tur dal and 1 cup of fried gram in grams and then calculate for 1 kg.
Hi. Wanted to know how long do I roast garlic? Not sure if it would turn out paste once ground. Can you please help on this?
You can roast until it slightly browns.It is only to remove the moisture.
Hi. Being a North Indian I am a great fan of this Andhra meals. Whenever I go to Andhra I try this podi rice while having meals. But they serve some chutney to mix with this rice and its rates great. What's that chutney is made of. Will be of great help if I come to know about it. Will surely try at home
Dis recipe of urs s ma husband's favourite. Tmw hez leaving to Japan n he had asd me to prepare it n give.
We have to remove the garlic skin or not to peel
You have to peel the skin.
How long does this powder keep, pls, especially since we are using garlic which is a wet ingredient. Grateful for a reply.
It will stay at room temperature for more than 20 days. You should not wet the garlic.You should dry roast the garlic until it turns light golden. You may add a drop of oil and roast if preferred.
The recipe came out very well.. my son n husband liked it a lot.. thank u…
