Paruppu Podi

First let me disclaim, this is not an usual Paruppu Podi. This is prepared to ease the digestion. Usually Paruppu podi mixed with Rice and little ghee is eaten first during Lunch. Paruppu Podi sadham actually stimulates the appetite. Its a healthy start of the meal too. This recipe for paruppu podi has dry ginger(sukku) in it, thus helping easy digestion. People suffering from Ulcer can have this Sukku Paruppu Podi. Dry Ginger will act as a good medicine.
