Pottukadalai or otherwise called as Roasted Bengal Gram. They are thick yet soft easy to be powdered.
One of the common ingredient to make chutney's , savories down south. Remember, my childhood when you ponder around the kitchen and i used to find this roasted gram dal popping out of the box. It's good to much on when taken with jaggery. But, too much raw dal is always not good for your tummy :)))
This chutney is mostly prepared when the mothers don't find time early morning. Can be a condiment for dosa, Idli, Aappam. Iddiappam at times rotis too..

5. Mix them and grind them again.
6. Open and check whether the chutney is not dry or very thick.
