Chitrannada Pudi | Spice powder for tempered spicy rice dish

Chitrannada Pudi, the word ‘chitranna’ translates to the tempered spicy rice dish which we prepare using home made masala powder called chitrannada pudi…..my mom’s one more signature rice dish, prepared by using this particular powder.
No vegetables are used in this recipe. It almost tastes like the south Indian famous Puliyogare, but slightly different because we use less amount of black sesame seeds and pepper corns compared to Puliyogare.
She always used to make this in large quantity during this shravana masa (month of festivals) so that it becomes easy for her to make chitranna quickly in those morning rush hours. Even I continue with the same custom.
Just make the masala powder and store it in an air tight container like any other masala powders and use it whenever you want to. Just add this prepared powder to the cooked rice, check for salt and pour the simple tempering (consisting of mustard seeds, bengal gram (Kadale bele), black gram (uddina bele) prepared in sesame oil) over it…. and the chitranna is ready to eat. You can also add in some grated fresh coconut for that extra aroma and taste.
