'Thengai podi'- coconut powder

This is almost like milagai podi, except that along with chana dal 2 cups, udad dal 2 cups,    red chilies 25-30     1 lemon size ball tamarind/imli/puli grated coconut 2 cups. Roast the dals separately with some chilies & 2-3 drops of oil, roast coconut well on small flame till golden brown, add imli pieces, roast another minute. Cool & powder all together with salt to taste. In this no til/ sesame seeds are used. Chilies can be varied depending on the sharpness of chilies & according to taste. You can use more coconut if you want, but take care to roast it well, as then only it will last long. This need not be kept in the fridge.

ps- this goes well with bread toast, you can have it with hot rice, or with dosai, idli, adai etc.
