has gloss | eng: Molagai Podi (literally "chilli powder" in Tamil) is a coarse mixture of ground dry spices that typically contains dried chillies, lentils, and sesame seeds. Tamils traditionally use milagai podi as a condiment on idlis, dosas and other South Indian dishes. The intensity of this condiments spiciness can range from almost no spice at all to extremely spicy. Some like to sprinkle a layer of sugar on top of the spicier mixtures after the oil is poured on the powder. This innovative idea creates a barrage of flavors once inside the mouth, from spicy and salty to sweet. Parents use this method for satisfying children who crave podi' but can not handle the intense flavor. |
