Coconut Podi Recipe / Thenga Milagai Podi with step by step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel. If you don’t have any veggies left back in your refrigerator to make any gravy or kuzhambu or really bored of doing kitchen work, then try this Thengai Podi Recipe. It can be prepared within 20 minutes, simultaneously you can pressure cook rice top up this podi, drizzled with sesame oil, and have a hearty lunch. It also goes well with idli, dosa too and I suggest using mature coconut, not the tender one or else kopra coconut. Also, never grind the coconut, just pulse it twice, otherwise it may leave oil and becomes a mess, lastly don’t skip the mustard seeds from the ingredients list, as it lends a wonderful flavour.

Notes

Tips for Thengai Podi Recipe

  1. Use fresh, mature coconut for a good flavour and texture. Don't use tender coconut, as you will not be able to grind.
  2. If you don't have mature coconut, use kopra, frozen or dry coconut. If using frozen coconut, thaw it and then use.
  3. I used sesame oil for roasting, but coconut oil also can be used, which adds a nice aroma to the Thenga Milagai Podi.
  4. Ingredients can be dry roasted also, but I used little oil as it gives colour to the  Coconut Podi Recipe.
  5. Urad dal can be replaced with chana dal too or a combination of both can be used.
  6. Adjust red chilli as per spice level required for this Thengai Podi Recipe.
  7. Slow roast all the ingredients in low flame, to avoid burning, else the whole taste gets changed.
  8. Ensure to roast the coconut well, till all the moisture is absorbed, else the Podi gets spoiled soon.
  9. Don't grind the coconut, just pulse it, otherwise it may leave oil.
  10. For a bright colour, use Kashmiri Chilli, but there will be less spiciness.
  11. Addition of jaggery is optional, it gives a mild sweetness and enhances the taste of the podi.
  12. This podi stays good for a month under refrigeration.
