** If black urad not available then use normal urad dal, using black urad dal gives good taste to podi.

** You can use half Guntur red chilli and half Kashmiri/ byadigi variety red chilli as per your availability.

** You can also add 1/8 tsp of methi/ fenugreek seeds to get nice aroma to podi.

** You can use sun dried/ dried curry leaves. 

** Grind nalla karam coarsely, do not grind it too smooth.

** If you do not eat garlic, then skip adding it. Instead of garlic add asafoetida.

** Do not add red chilli all at once while grinding this podi.
