| 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.

| | | South Indian Curd Rice [Thair Sadam] | | Adapted from one of my favourite cookbooks "Dakshin" by Chandra Padmanabhan, this side dish is a true South Indian classic. Seasoned cooks have their own special versions and some of the best Curd Rice I have sampled has been made by my aunt and in the South Indian Buffet of the "Ganges" restaurant in Singapore. Almost akin to the widely known and accepted raita, curd rice has the lovely, fluffy texture of rice and the tangy aroma of curry leaves and green chillies.
