Idli Podi Recipe: Authentic South Indian Gunpowder

Roast Carefully: Ensure even roasting of all ingredients to prevent burning and achieve the best flavor.
Grind Consistency: Adjust the grinding consistency to your preference – coarsely ground for a rustic texture or finely ground for a smoother powder.
Spice Level: Start with fewer chilies and gradually increase to your desired level of spiciness.
Oil Enhancement: A drizzle of oil not only enhances the flavor but also helps preserve the freshness of the Idli Podi.
