podi idli recipe, how to make podi idli recipe with a quick video. Podi idli is one of the most common idli varieties you can have in breakfast and brunch. Podi idli is nothing but a spiced or curried idli recipe made with idlis and a special podi spice powder.
I have already shared a detailed video and recipe on podi powder here and this post illustrates the use of that powder.
You can make powder in advance as the powder stays fresh for a month approx when stored in refrigerator. then you just have to assemble it with idlis. Actually posi idli is a perfect recipe to use your leftover idlis.
Idlis are nothing but a steamed lentil cakes which are staple in south indian cuisine. Well, to prepare this recipe, I have used ghee/clarified butter (which is a good fat) in tempering but this recipe goes best with sesame oil too.
