Advice

  • Store the powder in an airtight, dry container.
  • The milagai podi goes perfectly with the idli, the dosa, the upma and so on.
  • When you want to use it, serve it together with the idli or dosa by softening it with a little seed or sesame oil until you get a thick paste (similar to chutney); later, you can dip the other dishes and enjoy your meal!
