Andhra Style Pappula Podi Recipe | Spicy Lentil Powder | Count your Life with Smiles!

February 1, 2014 by Siri

Every one has got our version of sorrows which the world doesn’t know.But when we start counting our sorrows our mind might forget to calculate the happiness.Have you ever compared those two states as how your heart functions when you are sad to that of when you are happy? I did mine and always found that am pretty when I smile..Since then I always tried to keep that curve on my lips however my life turns..Happiness doesn’t come with the absence of problems..It comes by overcoming them with our abilities, At every milestone I reached in life ,joy came when I counted my smiles..The more we recollect our smiles the more we can celebrate our life is what I believe!When we miss to notice the precious things in life, sorrows or greifs can dominate us ..Everything you wish may not unfold in the way you wish but that doesn’t mean life can’t give you anything more..Just wear a smile and move on to find out the hidden treasures!
“Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.”
― Ayn RandHappiness sometimes to me is cooking less and eating more:) There are those days when you feel like cooking nothing and have a simple meal with some ready made stuff..One of those comfort kinds of meals comes from this simple one time preparation.Spice powders are speacility of Andhra Cuisine we proudly boast about.They form an integral part of traditonal Andhra meals.We make powders with many kinds of lentils and pulses coupled with mild spiciness.I would like to introduce Pappula Podi aka Lentil spice powder today.When you couple this pappula podi with hot steaming rice and a dollop of ghee,it can give you the best comfor meal ever!It is made of grinding roasted gram dal with a hint of aromatic garlice and dried red chillies. I have already posted this Andhra Kobbari Karam recipe before if you are interested to give it a try..

    The way in which the process explained is excellent. And of course, Pappula podi is a very good starter or even an emergency server in case of extreme hunger when time doesn’t permit to cook further. Even we can mix the powder with curd/yogurt and serve with any other staple like rice, roti, bread, noodles even.

    The way in which the process explained is good. In fact, its a very good starter and even an instantaneous supportive when we are very hungry and have no time to cook further. We can mix it with curd/yogurt and enjoy with the staple. Even put two spoons in 2 small glasses water, boiled, add some tamarind to taste, season it…it becomes a good pappu charu also.
