Peep into any south indian larder, and you are likely to find a good stock of ‘podis’ or dry spice-dal blends that can be served as side dishes or even mixed with rice and served, for a simple main course meal. Here is a healthy powder made with sesame seeds that can be mixed with rice and til oil and served with papads, for a quick and tasty treat.
