Kids make fun of me for the name of this dish as it is powder but it is called Podi Chutney. Podi means powder, but chutney is a thick and paste like consistency. 'How can one call it with both names?' is question posed by kids. It is a powder with little sweet and tangy flavor. All the members in the family especially kids love it very much.My mother is an expert in making it. My mom taught me a procedure and I am following it till date. I don't know what happens if we change the procedure. It takes a little longer time to make it, but very interesting.
