i make many powders at home n will try this one too as it looks hot n spicy....can you suggest more uses of this powder?
Sangeetha: This powder can be used in all podi thooval poriyal. It can also be used as sambar powder for unexpected usage. It is purely a multi purpose powder that can be used to make fish curry, mutton or chicken curries also.
