Kollu Podi | Horsegram powder|Multi purpose chutney podi | Step by step procedure with pictures

Kollu (Horsegram) podi is a multi purpose powder which you can have with Idly or Dosa or rice. I have already shared Flax seed podi recipe which is healthy and multi-purpose like this. If you are a weight watcher then you can have this powder handy and use it regularly in your diet. You may also like Idly milagai podi recipe.

You can use this podi while making vegetables like beans / avaraikai stir-fry. It makes it more tasty and flavorful.

It is also great with hot rice. Add a dollop of ghee or sesame oil on the top. You can have any side dish as you like. I specially like to make Podi-Dosa using this powder with a splash of ghee on it. It will be delicious.
