Make the traditional podi
Not the actual but representative pic
Prepare a classic South Indian podi by dry-roasting ingredients such as urad dal, chana dal, sesame seeds. Add some oil and roast dried red chillies and curry leaves. Grind them into a slightly coarse powder and season with salt, and a pinch of asafoetida (optional). The podi should have a fragrant, spicy and nutty flavour. Source: Unsplash. Another variation

Coat the idlis with ghee and podi
Place the warm idlis in a bowl or pan and drizzle them generously with melted ghee. Sprinkle the prepared podi over them, making sure each idli gets an even coating. Gently toss so that the ghee and podi cover the idlis without breaking them.

Serve hot
Serve the ghee podi idlis immediately while they are warm and aromatic. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar. A final drizzle of ghee gives the dish its signature richness and flavour.
