Most of the times when we are in a rush to make dosa or idli for early morning breakfast a side dish like chutney is time consuming and moreover same routine chutney makes the breakfast little dull and boring. At those times a spicy podi like peanut/phalli podi is not only time saving but also give a new twist to the routine breakfast. Podi(s)/powder(s) have 10-15 day shelf life or sometimes more when stored in a clean, dry air tight container and they can be indulged with dosa or idli or upma or vada or sometimes with a hot bowl of steamed white rice.
Peanuts are rich with proteins and carry good source of niacin which helps in brain health, brain circulation and blood flow. Peanuts are a significant source of resveratrol, a chemical studied for potential anti-aging effects and also associated with reduced cardiovascular disease and reduced cancer risk. With many more health benefits, peanuts rock the kitchen. Here comes a simple and flavourful peanut podi………. This podi is going to participate in JFI-Peanuts hosted by Pavani of Cook’s Hideout, event by Indira of Mahanandi and also to MLLA-Thirteen Helping hosted by Sunshinemom of TongueTicklers, event by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook.

I've never tried Podi before.. but it sounds and looks so utterly tempting = )
How do you eat this for breakfast? Do you add it to/with something else? I like the idea of adding this to rice. It sounds good. Do you add it while the rice is cooking or after the rice is cooked?I am not familiar with this food but it sounds delicious and as if it may have many uses.
Beatiful pics.. Simple and tasty podi with few ingredients.
