Pappula Podi is a famous Andhra preparation. In some parts of Andhra this is also called "Gunpowder". This is one powder which my mom not prepares but a staple powder in my husband's family. This is very simple to prepare among all the spicy powders. Just pop the ingredients into the mixer / blender and grind. No frying involved.This Powder is very versatile.
