Nuvvula Podi / Sesame Seed Powder

A very simple recipe which my mom often used to make. She makes many varieties of curries with this powder. Just a little quantity of this makes any curry extra delicious.

You know the recipe of this powder means you can make many curries!!!!! Today I am posting the simplest way of making Nuvvula Podi / Sesame seed powder for everyday cooking.

Nuvvula Podi is a spicy powder made with White Sesame seeds. This powder can be eaten with rice or added to curries. Andhrites can just live on spicy powders. We can finish our meals with one of these spicy powders. There is a big list of powders like Bengal gram powder, Curry leaves powder, Sesame sees powder, Garlic powder, Coconut powder, Coriander Seed powder etc. Getting tempted!!!!! Will post all these recipes in my blog.

    

Ingredients

1 cup White Sesame Seeds

5-6 Red Chillies

1 teaspoon Salt

1. Heat a pan. Add white sesame seeds, dry roast them on a low flame by continuously sauteing it till sesame changes colour and looks puffed up. 

2. Transfer this into a plate and it cool. Then dry roast red chillies for a min. First grind red chillies to flakes, add roasted sesame seeds,grind these to a coarse powder.

3. You can store like this or after adding salt. If you don't add salt you can use this in curries, and can add salt to the curries. Nuvvula podi with salt can be eaten with rice. ( You can keep half portion of this powder with salt and other half without so that you can use both in curries and with rice.)
