Velluli Kobbari Karam Podi || Ellipaya Kobbari Karam || Garlic & dry coconut Powder

 Velluli Kobbari karam || Garlic coconut powder || Garlic dry coconut podi with step by step pics and tips. This is spicy and tasty powder prepared with dry coconut & garlic as main ingredients.  It is popularly known as Ellipaya kobbari karam in Telangana. We prepare 'n' varieties of podi recipe in South India, and each recipe is different with different taste and aroma. We can have this velluli kobbaram karam podi as side dish for idli, dosa, adai. This taste yummy with some hot steamed rice and dollop of ghee. In telugu velluli means garlic and kobbara means coconut. I already shared Andhra Kobbari Karam Podi recipe in my blog, both podi tastes different. I am not big fan of garlic, our family started having garlic from few years, we like to have garlic in rasams like Miriyala charu and some fries like sanna kakarakaya fry/ tiny bitter gourd fry & garlic paratha is our favorite. pepper garlic rasam  gives good relief to throat and best remedy for cold in this winter season. This dry coconut garlic powder will becomes thick if you grind garlic without frying and also we will feel strong garlic smell. In order to overcome these both I lightly fried garlic, and also it increases the shell life by frying. Also adding tamarind gives good taste and increases podi shell life. For more information do check tips..

 Miriyala charu


This velluli kobbari karam podi tastes yummy with hot steamed rice and dollop of ghee or with hot sesame seeds oil. Important point to remember is use good quality dry coconut, so that we can store it fresh for long time. Once I purchased velluli karam podi in Srinivas Bhavan hotel @Adoni, it was very spicy and I liked adding tempering in it. From then I started adding simple tempering in my podi's. Do try it once, surely you like tempering in podi.  This tempering taste good only for few variety podi's like putnala podi / roasted gram dal podi, coconut  & garlic podi. If you want to store podi's for long time then do not add tempering as you may get oil smell after few day's. If you liked podi with tempering and want to store for long time , then store this podi in dry air tight container and store it in fridge.



How to serve this velluli kobbari karam podi

** Serve this podi with hot steamed rice and dollop of ghee or with hot sesame oil. I personally love to have it with ghee 😍😋.

** Serve it with any South Indian breakfast like idli, dosa, adai / lentil based dosa, idli upmaOats dalia upmaUggani.

** We can fill this in vegetables to prepare stuffed curries like 

Stuffed bitter gourdstuffed bhindi  and many more.
