Hi Kanchana,

You are right,,,,it is a must at our homes.,....which sometimes is a good handy recipe for idly /dosai..Nice pictures.

I would suggest that when you grind it should be a tad less than fine, so you have a little bit of 'kaduk, muduk' feeling while eating!

Here is what I do for milagaipodi preparation.Instead of frying the dhals in the wok, for large quantities I just spread the dhal, seseame and milagai on a pizza plate in the regular oven on low heat for an hour or two, for small quantities in my small toaster oven itself.Now the aluminum fry pan is being used with the lowest setting on the range! They get roasted easily and all you have to do

2007-07-30T20:24:00.000-07:00

Growing up I have had this with fluffy idlies from my Tamil classmates' tiffins! Now I make my own, and it is served always there for the idly-dosa-adai meals! I'm almost out of it and will give your version a try this time - the bright red 'gun-powder', as we call it, still eludes me.

Such gorgeous pictures, always!

Thanks for featuring A Mad Tea Party this week!
