Coconut Powder [Thengai Podi]
A "podi" is a very interesting concept in the South Indian style of cuisine. An ancient and traditional practice of roasting a combination of dals, spices and condiments; then processing them into a coarse powder to be enjoyed with a dollop of "ghee" or a generous serving of oil, gave birth to the "podi" family. There is a wide variety of "podis" available from specialty Indian stores, but making your own and revelling in the spicy aroma is very satisfying indeed.

Chaat Masala
Chaat Masala is the essence of Indian Street Food and bears the trademark sour and tangy taste of the famed 'bhel-puri' and 'golgappa'. Although there are many readymade varieties available from companies like "Everest", "Mangal", "MDH" etc.. it is very gratifying to make your own, varying the amounts of ingredients to achieve your own unique taste. Make in small quantities and use generously in 'chaat dishes' and sparingly on raw fruit salads and cooked tandoori meat.
