I make my sambar and rasam podis at home only since I get all the ingredients here in CA.I make them once in 2 months in small quantities and it stays fresh till the last day.Garam masala also I make at home only so it tastes really fresh and good.
Ayesha,pls don't get me wrong...but don't you think that instead of carrying all those podis and masalas from home,you could make it yourself in UAE.I am sure you will be getting all those ingredients there.When you make it yourself,you could proudly say that to all ...well,that is my opinion. Even if my mother or MIL offers those podis to me,I don't accept it...because frankly it takes a lot of load off the luggage and you could carry something else instead.Also,if you get the correct recipe details from them,you can prepare it yourself.Just a thought!

Ayesha...i can understand what u go thro...with 1/2 ur luggage containing podis...etc..etc..
Azhagi : what u r saying is easier said than done.
in my case...whenever i visit my parents or my in-laws....i will be flooded with queries as to what all need...!! Generally...I will ask them to make any particular podi...like parruppu podi or pulikachal.
Will inform tht the opposite party has made the other podis.
This way...my mother and my mil are happy tht they did something....and at the same time...I ensure tht I travel with a light weight.
The first time after marriage......(when i was not smart enough to get away from their 'anbu tholai') ..I came back home with a lot of podis. When I opened my luggage here.....I couldnt identify..which podi was for what!!! Spent a lot of time on the phone segregating the various podis.
Offcourse...when the phone bill came....my hubby hit the roof...and tht is another scary story...to be shared later!!! lol....lol....

Ha the podis.... my mom in law makes an excellent sambhar podi, which i think is unparalled and my mom's idli podi will also fall into that category. My mom uses lots of curry leaves for idli podi (prevent too much hair loss esp after having 2 children) and i can't imagine making them my self.
When my mom and dad came to visit us she brought with her the usual podis and parpu and what not. The funny thing was she packed 3 kgs of greengram dhal 'cause i like it and payed for extra baggage at check in, inspite of me telling her thousand times that we get perfectly good greengram dhal from all supermarkets here.
