Peanuts(ground nuts) powder, Palli podi, Verkadalai podi

Peanut powder or Palli podi is famous under podi category. It is very simple to prepare and very tasty with spices in it. Today I am preparing this podi with roasted dal/ putnalu(in Telugu)/pottu kadai (in Tamil). You can have this Palli podi with hot steamed rice and ghee 😋😋😋. It is also served with idli/dosa for breakfast. When i am busy and no time to prepare chutney for idli/dosa, then i take 3-4 tsp of this peanut powder and add ghee and have it instead chutney 🤗🤗. Also try this powder with upma. Talking about calories,in 100 grams of peanuts we have 567 calories. You can use it for a month with out loosing its flavour, by storing it in a tight container.

Tips


◆ Do not use oil to roast ground nuts, its not able to remove the skin if nuts coated with oil.


◆ Adding cumin seeds,curry leaves add flavour and taste to the podi.


◆ Adding Roasted dal gives good podi texture and also taste. As ground nuts have oil content, it will become paste if you do not add roasted dal.
