Making a little change in a dish leads to different taste. i tried this idli podi when i was out of some regular ingredients....woohoo alternatives work.

Method:
- Heat Coconut oil in a kadai.
- Reduce the flame to medium.
- Add 1/2 cup of urad dhal,1/2 cup of chickpea, 1/4 cup of groundnut and roast them to light brown(we can smell them roasting).
- Now add dry red chilli, sesame seeds, asafoetida and garlic pods to the same.
- Roast everything and keep stiring so that nothing gets burned.
