Porichakuzhambu Powder

The porichakuzhambu powder has become an important ingredient in my kitchen shelves. This magical powder can be used to make quick porichakuzhambus. My mother-in-law recipe for the same is as below

Pepper - 1 tumbler
Black Gram (Kadala Paruppu) - 1 tumbler
Urad Dal - 1 tumbler
Red Chilli - 3/4 tumbler

Heat a kadai. When it is hot switch the stove off and fry all the above items for a while. Mix in a spoon of Jeera and 6 sprigs of curry leaf. Once cool, mix and powder all the ingredients.

When preparing Porichakuzhambu, add 2 spoons of this powder to the already boiled vegetables.
