This is my mom’s idli milagai podi recipe with garlic. I love this idli podi. I like the one with sesame seeds as well. But my husband & my daughter likes idli podi with garlic. I learnt this recipe from my mom.When I was in school and college, I used to carry mostly idli or dosa with this podi for lunch . I love to eat this more than rice varieties. My doter is also the same like me 
. I’ll soon post my favourite sesame seeds/ Ellu version with dal 
. Please refer notes section for variations..

NOTE
- Adjust the amount of red chillies based on ur taste.
- Garlic pieces will be ground well even when u add at the end. If u want, u can add it along with dals & red chillies.
- My mil makes the same podi adding hing alone. It also tastes good. Try for variation.Add more hing when u try this version.
- Sometimes I add few curry leaves while frying the dals which gives a nice flavour.
