Milagai podi

Encyclopedia : M : MI : MIL : Milagai podi

Milagai Podi (literally "chilli powder" in Tamil) is a mixture of ground dry spices that may contain chilies, seeds and lentils. Tamils use milagai podi as a condiment on idlis, dosas and other South Indian dishes.

Milagai podi is not consumed dryly; it is usually mixed with edible oil or ghee. Certain purists like to tame the sometimes harsh flavor of the milagai podi by sprinkling some sugar on top of the mixture.
