Chana Dal – 1/4 Cup
Sesame Seeds (White) – 2 tsp , Dry Roasted in a pan
Red Chillies – 40 (Lessen the number of chillies if you do not like your molaga podi to be too spicy)
Salt – As per taste
Method of Preparation
Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan and roast Urad Dal, Chana Dal and the Red chillies till the Dal turns a golden brown color. Add salt as per taste.
Dry Grind the above mixture in mixie.
The molaga podi is now ready.
Combination:
The molaga podi obviously goes well with idli and dosa.
