      We do not use them in podi. Instead they will be used when making kuzhambu

    Hi,

    Can we use turmeric powder instead? We don't get turmeric roots where I live. If yes, what is the proportion?

      Yes, you can use powder if you do not have turmeric root. After grinding the ingredients, add a teaspoon of turmeric powder and grind one time.

    can't we simply add the following powders - Turmeric Powder (1 sp), Chilli Powder (1 sp), Coriander Powder (1 sp), and Besan/Gram Flour (1/3 Sp)?

    The recipe is drafted carelessly. What is meant by Red chilly 4 cups?

    measurement in cups is very deceptive. please use metric measurements as in grams
