      Hi Dhivya,

      For Ellu Milagai Podi – same ingredients as in the Idli Milagai Podi, but you have to add til seeds (dry fry and add) and make this podi.

      Hi Devika,

      One cup holds normally 100 to 110 grams and it is also depends upon the type of ingredient you are measuring. For Indian cooking, use any size tea cup and use the same cup for measuring all other ingredients called for in a particular recipe.
