Nuvvula Podi | Roasted Sesame Powder from Andhra Pradesh
Nuvvula Podi is a roasted sesame powder from Andhra Pradesh. It is a staple in my home and I often relish it by mixing it with hot steamed rice and sesame oil.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Unpolished Sesame Seeds, Nuvvulu
- 6 to 8 Spicy Red Chillies, Endu Mirapakaya
- Salt to Taste
Instructions
- Over medium flame, heat a wok or a kadhai.
- Add the sesame seeds and red chillies.
- Continuously stir-fry till the sesame seeds change colour.
- Remove the roasted sesame seeds and chillies into a plate to cool.
- Add salt.
- When the seeds have cooled to room temperature, in a large grinder jar, grind to a coarse powder. Be careful not to grind too much as you will have an oily lump on your hands.
- Store in an air-tight bottle.
