Kollu Podi/Horse gram Powder

For the day 6 of Blogging Marathon#16, I made very healthy and flavorful kollu podi which can be mixed with rice as well as goes well with idly.
Kollu is a kind of bean which is a good source of iron,protein and has lots of  health benefits such as reducing cholesterol,helps in weight reduction and remedy for cold and cough.
This is a very simple and easy to make podi and can be stored fresh for a month.Here goes the recipe....
