Karivepillai Podi/Curry leaves Podi

Karivepillai podi is one such flavorful podi my mom makes it often as we have a big tree in our backyard in India.
But here curry leaves are very expensive and never made this podi ,rarely I make curry leaves rice for lunch box.
Most of the time I get it from India  and keep it for couple of months.This time also I got it from India and before it finish off wanted to click and share it with you all.
As I was busy with my lil one,when my mom was making this one couldn't take the stepwise pictures.Will try to take the stepwise picture in my next trip and share you all ☺. Now off to the recipe.................

Ingredients

Curry leaves/Karivepillai	2 cups(tightly packed)
Red chilly	10-12
Channa dhal(kadalai paruppu)	1/3cup
Urad dhal(ullutham paruppu)	1/3cup
Coriander seeds/kothamalli	1tbs
Asafoetida	1/2tsp
Salt	to taste

Method

• Wash the curry leaves and spread it on a paper towel or cotton towel.


• Once all the moisture is absorbed dry roast in a pan till it becomes crisp and keep it aside.


• Roast the red chillies, channa dhal,urad dhal in a medium flame to a golden brown color.


• Finally add the asafoetida powder and put off the fire.Let it cool down.
