    About this recipe

    Curry leaves powder or Karivepaku Podi also known as Karuvepellai Podi  is a dry chutney powder , very popular in South India. This dry chutney is made from fresh curry leaves, chana dal, urad dal, dry red chilies, tamarind, dry coconut, and salt. Though there are many varitions to this recipe like adding peanuts , coriander seeds and sesame seeds , I am sharing my home style recipe , which we are making it from years.

    As curry leaves chutney powder is generally mixed with sesame oil and served , I have not used sesame seeds while making this curry leaf powder. Also few adds coriander seeds to this chutney powder , personally I don't prefer to add in this chutney powder as it tastes more like a curry leaf sambar powder to me. Hence I avoid using corinder seeds while making this karivepaku podi. Its just my personal preference , if you are okay in adding coriander seeds , you can add it in this this recipe.

    How to make curry leaves chutney powder

    Firstly ,wash curry leaves well in salt water, drain water completely and wipe it dry with a kitchen napkin. Once its completely dry , then dry roast curry leaves on a medium flame until it turns crisp and crushes with hands easily.

    It takes almost 6-8 minutes to become completely crisp.

    Now , transfer roasted curry leaves into a blender/ dry mixer jar.

    Secondly , in the same pan, heat 1 teaspoon of oil, regulate flame to low and roast chana dal (Bengal gram) and urad dal (de skinned split black gram), until lentils turn light golden in colour.

    Now add in dry red chilies and roast for about 2-3 minutes.

    Add in dry coconut, cumin seeds, garlic cloves, tamarind, roast for a minute and turn off the stove.

    Thirdly ,transfer all the roasted ingredients to the same blender/ mixer jar. Let it cool down completely in a blender / jar itself. As keeping roasted spices in the pan, itself radiates heats and burn the spices when kept for cooling.

    Add hing, turmeric powder , salt and jaggery .

    Finally ,blend everything to a fine powder . Store in air tight dry glass jar, stays fresh upto 1 month.

    Serve it with rasam rice, sambar rice, make podi idli , season and mix with rice or poha . I have tried everything and it tastes equally good with all the mentioned combinations.
