Once the aroma starts to come; add garlic pods, pepper and red chillies. Saute well for 2 to 3 minutes or till the colour changes to golden brown (make sure not to burn the dhals).
Transfer that into the plate and allow to cool.
After it is completely cooled add the horse gram mixture, asafoetida and salt in the blender / mixer and grind it into a coarse powder.

Serving suggestion:
Add Horse gram (kollu) podi in hot rice with ghee or gingelly oil.
or
Mix with gingelly oil and serve with idli / dosa / uthappam / kuzhipaniyaram.
Note:
Colour of the podi depends upon the variety and amount of chillies added.
Adjust the amount of chillies according to your taste.
According to my taste it suits well with rice than idli. Try both and let me know.
