Paruppu podi recipe for rice. Paruppu podi made with the addition of Garlic – Andhra style. Kandi Pappu podi recipe. Recipe with step by step pictures and video.
Andhra style paruppu podi with garlic / Kandi pappu podi served with hot white rice and ghee is a meal in itself. This is a very simple recipe and can be made at home in under 20 minutes. The lentils, garlic and spices are roasted and ground to a powder. We like the podi ground fine at home. If you like a coarse texture, set aside a tablespoon of the lentil mixture before grinding. Grind the rest of the mixture to a fine powder and add back the lentil mixture and pulse a few times so the lentils added retain its coarse texture. Adjust the spice levels according to your taste. I add a few Byadagi / Kashmiri chillies for colour along with the regular Gundu chillies. The garlic is used in this recipe along with the skin. The roasted skin gives a fantastic aroma and flavour. If you want a paruppu podi that is deep yellow in colour, omit the curry leaves. Store the podi in a airtight container and use it within a month.

Slightly smash the garlic along with the skin. Add it to a hot skillet along with a little coconut oil. Roast for a minute. Set aside to cool. The skin adds a lot of aroma and flavour to the powder.
Add in the toor dal to the pan. Add in the cumin seeds and black pepper. Dry roast on a low flame. Low flame is key as you do not want to burn the lentils. Roasting on a low flame brings out a lot of flavour from the lentils.
After a couple of minutes add in the red chillies and the curry leaves. If you want a bright yellow colour powder, omit the curry leaves. Dry roast all the ingredients on a low flame until the lentils are golden in colour.
Add in the fried gram / pottu kadalai and dry roast for a few seconds.
Switch off the flame and add back the roasted garlic, asafoetida and salt. Mix well to combine.
Immediately, transfer the roasted mixture to a plate / bowl. Let it cool completely. Do not leave the mixture in the pan as it will still continue to cook the lentils and the lentils may burn.
Grind the mixture to a fine powder. We like the podi ground fine at home. If you like a coarse texture, set aside a tablespoon of the lentil mixture before grinding. Grind the rest of the mixture to a fine powder and add back the lentil mixture and pulse a few times so the lentils added retain its coarse texture.
Store the podi in a airtight container and use it within a month. Serve the podi mixed with rice and hot ghee.
