Most of us carry lot of food items when we travel abroad…..most of the times it is some MTR ready to eat stuff….how long will that last? Also, how many of us really like the taste?and it is quite a heavy hit on the pocket if you want to buy a lot of it.
Instead, why don’t we make some ready to eat stuff and take it along….
I have tried to put in recipes of some powders. These are to be mixed and had with rice. These can be stored for a long time and they give the required spicy taste and south Indian kick when you are abroad….all mummy’s ideas…
Paruppu podi:
Thoram paruppu (thuar dal)– 1 cup
Red chillis – 3 to 4 (can put in more if more spice is required)
Pepper – 10 to 15
Salt to taste
Refined oil
Fry the thoram paruppu in a little oil till the colour changes to reddish brown. Keep it aside to cool. Fry red chilli and pepper in oil and keep aside to cool
Put all the fried ingredients along with some salt and grind into a fine powder and store.
Mix it with rice along with some ghee or oil while eating.
