This can also be mixed directly with hot rice, add a teaspoon of gingelly oil and enjoy with sutta applam / vadam. This is slightly a different version from conventional Idli Milagai Podi.

Thengai Milagai Podi is a dry chutney powder made using roasted coconut, urad dal and red chili. This is similar to our conventional Idli Milagai Podi but with the additional of dry roasted coconut.  The addition of roasted coconut powder enhances the flavor and taste of this chutney powder. With Coconut Milagai Podi, we can mix it directly with a hot rice, smeared with a spoon of gingelly oil (sesame oil) and consume it with a bite of sutta appallam / vadam. This is also a perfect accompaniment for Idli/Dosa.  This home made Thengai Milagai Podi comes in very handy for the travel / lazy days. We can store it in air-tight container and refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
