      Thanks Rati, just add about one tablespoon for 1 cup of cooked rice and then add more if you prefer it strong and spicy or adjust according to your taste. You may also check this recipe for Brinjal Rice / Vangi Bhath / Kathrikkai sadam

    How do you prepare this Vangi Bhath rice.
    I use the MTR ready made mix. Do you add tamarind or brown sugar
    while you prepare ?

      Coffee grinders works fine for making podis. I use one of those for making fine powders, you can also grind with regular Indian mixie, but the only problem is … it won't work well for small quantity.
