My kids generally like rice / pulao made with Podi like Ellu (sesame) Podi(powder) sadam, Peanut powder sadham. I love it as I am big fan of nuts. In my last Indian trip I got some podi from my cousin to guess the secret ingredients.. I couldn’t .. I can taste all the familiar ingredients but not the secret one. I took the recipe from her. It is actually poppy seeds which is secret ingredients
