Mangalapodi

S always calls "Milagaipodi" "Mangalapodi" and I haven't the heart to correct him. 
This one's a BED-friendly version, the original is here.

1 C  sprouted and sun-dried urad 
1/2 C presoaked and sun dried arhar dal
3/4 C sesame seeds
1 piece asafoetida (resin)
6 red chillies
Salt to taste
 
dry roast the sesame seeds and asafoetida.
dry roast the dals.
Powder the dals, chillies. Add sesame seeds, asafoetida and salt and dry grind.

He likes this sprinkled on everything - likes his food spicy!

Hi,

We'd love to know more about your experience with SCD and going beyond it - why you started it, and so forth. I have been looking at your recipes and am really eager to start trying some. My daughter has had to use SCD for years. She lived in India for a while and is back in the U.S. now. How has the gradual introduction of grains worked for you? The only thing we are having success with right now is maize that we first sprout a bit and then nixtamalize (traditional South American process). It's the only grain food that doesn't make her ill. I am especially interested in your experience with grain amaranth.

Hi,
Could you tell me where to buy all the organic dals including channa dal.
Also, have you tried making besan from chaana dal. I do we do that...
