Short Grain Boiled rice is called Puzhangal Arisi in Tamil. Boiled and Par-boiled is often confused and almost considered the same. But there's a small difference in the processing style, you can read more on this topic here. Glad to see this product recently in most Indian stores and thought would be a great solution and substitute for Idli rice. Look for Ponni Boiled rice (Ponni Puzhungal arisi) (Dakshin Brand) in your local Indian store… they come only in 20lbs and cost around $27 to $30.

For any good looking and tasting chutney, fresh ingredients are a must and its 100% true in the case of Coconut Chutney varieties. Hotel chutney doesn't have any special magic ingredients except its made attractive with tricky presentations and prepared with right proportions. That doesn't mean we don't make good chutneys at home… its all our mind set and few more other aspects makes it more attractive.

Idli Milagai Podi has many versions and this one is my favourite which I learnt from family friends who are from Elenchi (Kutralam / Cutrallam side), a small town in Thirunelveli district. Most of their podi preparations include whole black gram (with skin), black sesame seeds , or combination of lentils which give a unique smoky flavour. Here is a simple version of one of their style which would sure tingle your tongue-tations.
