Dried Shrimp / Sennakunni Idli Podi

Recently i got to taste this very different flavored idli podi at my friends place... It was not of anything i have tasted before but the flavor was somewhat very familiar to me so i asked the friend what were the ingredients and to my surprise the flavor giving ingredient was dried shrimp... yes you heard it right... This is the non veg form of idli podi... you ll love the flavor when combined with some oil and tasted with soft idli or crispy dosa's...
