Paruppu podi for Rice


Paruppu podi
Whomever had lunch in Andhra mess would have tasted the lentil powder alias gun powder. I am not sure why it got the name gun powder. It is my hubby's favourite. He starts his lunch with this paruppu podi and ghee. It is also my kid's favourite and I used to prepare in small batches 15 days once.  This paruppu podi can be taken as a side dish to rice along with ghee or sesame oil.  Please check below for step wise instructions and pictures for paruppu podi - lentil powder.
