Paruppu podi/spicy lentil powder

Hello all,

It has been some really really long time that I blogged!Ask me the reason?Nothing in specific.Juggling work and life,takes my complete time!But I do sneak and peak into my hobbies,every now and then :)I wish,I shed my laziness and devote my time in blogging about the most that I like(ofcourse food!what else!!!).

Now direct to the topic!

Paruppu podi takes me back to my school and college days!When amma was in a  no mood to cook,she would make some vegetables/rasam and We would kick start the lunch with this spicy lentil powder rice!This is a spicy powder,usually mixed with a generous dollop of ghee in hot rice!oh yes,the taste just makes me to drool!
