In South India, chutney powder, sometimes called pappula podi or chutney pudi, is a spicy peanut powder used as a condiment. It is consumed with upma, dosa, idli, or rice. Traditionally, only roasted or fried grams are used to make this spice powder, which is then utilized in chutney recipes. Most Telugu speaking households always have it on hand to go with their typical breakfasts, such as idli, dosa, uthappam, upma etc.
About Pappula podi
You may even enjoy this peanut powder with yogurt rice or plain rice and a little ghee. When combined with a South Indian breakfast, a spoonful of this podi significantly helps meet growing children's and adults' protein needs. When you are unable to make fresh chutney for breakfast, it is also a good backup.
Each family makes this chutney powder in a different way to suit their tastes. Some people make it without peanuts, only with roasted gram and coconut. This is made with peanuts as the base and fried grams to keep the mixture from lumping.
To suit your taste, you could slightly change the quantity of ingredients, such as adding more or less red chiles and garlic. Podi idli or podi dosa can also be made with this peanut powder.

How To Make Pappula Podi Step by Step
Ingredients:
1 cup raw Peanuts
1/2 cup Roasted Gram Dal
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
3 - 4 Large Garlic Cloves
2 tsp Red Chilli Powder
1 Spring curry leaves
Salt to taste
1. I begin with cleaning and discarding stones from peanuts, roasted gram and cumin seeds. Dry roast peanuts until they turn aromatic and golden. Then add the fried gram and roast for another 1 minute then add 1 spring curry leaves, garlic, and cumin seeds. For 30 seconds, stir. Here, we don't want to overcook the garlic. For shelf life, it is fried. Remove these to a plate and cool.
2. Cool all the ingredients. Add the curry leaves, red chili powder, garlic and cumin to a grinder jar. Grind to smooth powder.
3. Add rest of the ingredients and salt to the jar. Scrape off the sides and mix everything well. Grind them just until mixed. Avoid over grinding as the peanuts will begin to release oil and the whole thing will become a mass.
Store peanut powder in an airtight jar. It keeps fresh for about 2 to 3 months at room temperature.
Healthy Notes:
1. Peanuts are a great source of plant-based protein, healthy fats, fiber, and important minerals like magnesium and iron.
2. Putnala (Bengal Gram Dal) adds extra protein, fiber, and complex carbs.
3. Moderate in calories and fats, so consume in small amounts (1–2 tsp per serving) for a healthy balanced diet.
