Malgapodi, commonly known as Gun Powder is a famous spice and lentil mix, paired with dosas, idlis and as a regular side in South Indian meals. Each family will have their own classic recipe, and I am sharing with you my husband's Patti (Grandmom) recipe.

| Malgapodi |
- 1 cup Urad Dal (Split and skinned black gram)
- 1 cup Chana Dal (Split Bengal Gram lentil)
- 30-35 Dry Red Chillies
- Few seeds of Methi Seeds (Fenugreek seeds)
- A handful of dry Kaddi Patta (Curry Leaves)
- Salt to taste
Method
- Dry roast the lentils separately until it leaves oil and brown in color and let it cool
- Dry roast the red chilies and keep aside
- Mix all the ingredients and grind into a coarse powder
- Store in an airtight container
A staple in Tamil and Telegu households, this powder mix is best enjoyed with oil. Take some powder, make a hole like a pond, and pour oil. Mix with your finger and relish it.
