Рецепт Nutritious Milagai Podi Recipe

by Swapna

Milagai podi / Idli/ Dosa podi is very common in South

Indian homes... There are many recipes for this powder with minor differences.... I got the idea for this nutritious Milagai podi from

my cousin’s mother in law, Sashi aunty; she

told me, while making, she used to

add different types of nuts, dals, beans etc for her

prefers Sambar for his dosa.... But I know a lot of kids loves have dosa

spreading Milagai podi on top of it… so if your kids loves Milagai podi try

this nutritious one next time when you make..... just add little bit of different types of

nuts. beans and dals, roast well and powder

together.....
