Instructions: To begin making the Godhi Chutney Podi Recipe, first get all the ingredients ready and handy.Place a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat, dry roast the whole wheat in batches until you get a nutty aroma. This takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Once done, remove from the pan and keep aside.In the same pan, roast the dry coconut for about a minute until it turn warm and crisp and the moisture goes away. Take care not to allow it to turn brown Once done, remove and keep aside.Next, heat a teaspoon of oil, add the fenugreek seeds and allow it to crackle. Once it crackles add the chilies and roast until it is crisp and finally add the asafoetida and curry leaves and roast for a few more seconds.Once done, turn off the heat. Allow all the ingredients to cool.Once cooled, we will first blend the wheat germ in the mixer grinder until you get an almost coarse powder. Add the remaining roasted ingredients along with the tamarind, salt and jaggery into the jar of the mixer grinder and blend to make an almost smooth powder.Once done, check for salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste.
