Flaxseed Powder/ Podi

  

 A nutritious, intensely nutty dry powder made by roasting flaxseeds with lentils, red chilies, garlic, and curry leaves — this is the podi that the health-conscious South Indian kitchen has quietly been making for generations.

Ingredients

  • Flaxseeds – ½ cup
  • Urad dal – 2 tbsp
  • Dry red chilies – 4, broken
  • Garlic – 4 cloves
  • Curry leaves – 1 sprig
  • Salt – to taste


Method

  1. Dry roast flaxseeds in a pan on low heat for 3–4 minutes until they begin to splutter. Set aside to cool.
  2. In the same pan, dry roast urad dal until golden. 
  3. Add dry red chilies, garlic, and curry leaves and roast for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Cool completely.
  4. Combine all roasted ingredients and grind to a coarse powder. 
  5. Add salt and pulse once more.

Tip: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Mix with a drizzle of sesame oil or ghee and serve alongside hot idlis.

Pairs well with: Ragi idli, oats idli, foxtail millet idli — the nuttiness of the podi complements earthy, grain-forward idlis beautifully.
