Curry leaf is an amazing herb with a lot of medicinal properties. It happens to be my favorite as well. I have made Kariveppilai Podi (curry leaf powder) before. This version is a spin on the classic Paruppu Podi

Ingredients
Curry Leaf 1 cup
Toor Dal 1/2 cup
Roasted Gram Dal / Pottu Kadala 2 tbsp
Red Chilli 2 (or more depending on your chilli)
Pepper 1/2 tsp
Cumin Seeds 1/4 tsp
Oil 1 tsp
Salt a little
Method of Preparation
1. Heat a little oil in a pan. Add the toor dal and pottu kadalai. Saute till it starts to brown.
2. Add the red chillies, pepper, cumin. Saute for a minute or 2.
3. Add the curry leaves and switch off. It will dry up.
4. Let it cool and then powder.
Store in an air tight jar. Stores well for a week or so. If stored in Fridge, it lasts for 3 weeks (don't know about more than that as it always gets over by that time). Mix with rice and enjoy!
