Peanut powder or palli podi is another variety of powder. We Telugu people love powders to substitute chutneys with rice. Spicy, tangy powder along with a drop of oil or ghee is really awesome to enjoy the night dinner. Whenever we feel like not cooking anything these powders are really helpful.
Of course, nowadays nobody is coming to other's houses without notice, but in my childhood days, it was like that. People use to come home without notice and join us for lunch or dinner accordingly. And sometimes people used to come in the evening and stay up till dinner, so my mom's slogan was that if you have kandi podi and rasam in the pantry you can feed any number of people. So any podi or powder come handy in such hard times.
We have a collection of podis in the blog, you check here for them also.
It is yet another simple and easy dish to make. Serve it with hot piping rice and a drop of ghee.
