Idli Milagai Podi has many versions and this one is my favourite which I learnt from family friends who are from Elenchi (Kutralam / Cutrallam side), a small town in Thirunelveli district. Most of their podi preparations include whole black gram (with skin), black sesame seeds , or combination of lentils which give a unique smoky flavour. Here is a simple version of one of their style which would sure tingle your tongue-tations.

Fasting in the month of Ramzan is compulsory for every Muslim who has reached the age.There is a meal before dawn, which is called 'Suhur'.In the evening immediately after the sunset, the Muslim should break his fast which is called 'Ifthar', When one of you breaks fast he should do so with some dates, And in our home with the dates we used to break fast with this Conjee and vadai (masala vadai or medhu vadai) and with some fruit juice too.. As this is a month of ramzan and i just want to share with u all.

Pearl millet flour is nothing but kambu maavu, one of the variety of grains very much near to finger millet..thought of buying ragi flour, but i didnt checked, came back home n thought of preparing ragi dosais, i saw the name only while mixing them with urad dal batter…really was surprised n dunno wat to do..
