Ingredients

  • 1 cup kollu/ horse gram
  • 1/4 cup channa dal
  • 1/4 cup black urad dal
  • 1/2 teaspoon methi seeds
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 20 curry leaves
  • 10-15 dried red chilies
  • 1/2 teaspoon asafoetida
  • salt
  • 1 teaspoon oil

Instructions

  • Heat 1 teaspoon gingely oil in a kadai/wok. Add the cleaned and measured horse gram/ kollu to the hot oil and fry well for 3-4 minutes. Some kollu will start to burst and color will change slightly. Remove the fried kollu to a plate.
  • In the same oil add channa dal, urad dal and fry well too till the colore changes to golden. Remove to the same plate along with roasted horse gram.
  • In the same oil add dried red chilies, methi seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaf and asafoetida. Saute well till the chilies turn dark in color. Let everything to cool down.
  • Take all the roasted ingredients in a dry grinding jar.
  • Grind for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add required salt. Grind gain to a somewhat coarse powder. Store kollu podi in airtight container and use as required

Notes

1. use red chili as per taste and hotness of the chili. I used dried kashmiri red chilies here. If using small round ones you may need to reduce the number of chilies as they are more hot.
2. Instead of asafoetida you can add garlic pods
3. You can use normal urad dal or even toor dal instead of black urad dal
