Angaya Podi (Post Partum Diet)

Ingredients

1cup Sundakkai VathalDried Turkey berries
1cup Manathakkali vathalDried nightshade green seeds
1/2cup Dried Neem flowers
1/2cup Dried Curry leavesif you have fresh curry leaves just saute them for a while to dry it.
1/2cup Coriander Seeds
1/4cup Black Peppercorn
1/4cup Jeera Seeds
1/4cup toor dal
1tbsp Dry ginger Powderif you have dried ginger then use 1/4 inch of it
1tbsp Ajwain Seeds
2 Dried RedChilli
1/2tsp Rock Saltif you dont have rocksalt then use table salt

Instructions

Take a frying pan for roasting the ingredients. At all times keep the flame either low or medium low. This will prevent quick browning of the ingredients
Dry roast (without adding oil) all the ingredients separately
Grind everything together
If you find it time consuming then you can split them in groups & then roast it

Alternatively :

You could first roast together Pepper+Jeera. Keep it aside
Next Coriander seeds+Dried Redchillies+Ajwain
Then roast manathakali vathali + sundakkai vathal
Then roast toor dal along with salt
Finally grind everything to fine powder
You can eat this podi with plain rice. A simple Raita or Pachadi can be served as side dish.. In this picture I am serving Angaya Podi sadham with cucumber raita & plain moongdal.. Also i have some roasted manathakali vathal & sundakkai vathal.
