Nalla Karam Podi Recipe | How to make Nalla Karam Podi

Hi, Good Morning, Thank you friends and viewers. Today I will post how to make nalla karam podi recipe.

Nalla Karam podi or powder is the best accompaniment for idli, dosa and also to hot piping rice. It is very spicy powder. I am very fond of the powders served in restaurants when we order idli/dosa. They look very tempting. I always wanted to try those powders but never get them as spicy as they were served in hotels. Once when we had a kitty in Susila's house, she served it. I liked it very much and it was exactly the same taste as it is served in restaurants. I took this recipe from her. She makes it in traditional stone mortar and pestle. Yeah, making it in that is very difficult but tastes awesome. If we do not have mortar and pestle at home we can make it using a blender, but we need to do a little portion at a time. If we do all at one go, we get semi powder. As the moisture in garlic and tamarind makes it wet. Do not reduce the number of red chilies as it should be spicy, then only it tastes good.
