Will someone please tell me what sense does it make ….
…to write ‘Chawal Podi’ in Hindi? And I just realized that I can’t recall the word for powder in Hindi!
Any Excuse to Write…
Just an excuse to write… anything that catches my fancy..
Will someone please tell me what sense does it make ….
…to write ‘Chawal Podi’ in Hindi? And I just realized that I can’t recall the word for powder in Hindi!
me first!!
Podi!! I was wondering about it too!!
can’t think of the word!
So I am not the only one
Ha ha ha
Maybe chooran
That’s what everybody else says to
LOL! It doesn’t make sense. But I don’t think they ever cared about that
Yeah, I don’t know what powder is in hindi either.
Same pinch then , Pepper
like gehu ka aatta, bajra ka aatta, maybe we can call it chawal ka aatta.. but yes for rice, even i hv started referring it as rice podi, whatever that means..
Chawal ka atta… hmm sounds self-contradictory, dont u think?
Chawal ka atta sounds perfect!
LOL! Tara, atleast it made sense to you
Chawal ka atta is the right word…
Powder in hindi is powder only but if you really wanna know then you can say “chura” which really doesn’t make sense
chura is what I was going to say too… edible powdery items are churas or more commonly atta
I know
They should have just written powder in hindi, if they wanted to write at all 
Even I was gonna write “chura”
haha.. let’s not talk about translations and spellings found in india
it says “Chooran” or “Burada” Quite close actually 
and as for powder.. I donno either… I googled
They should have just written powder in Hindi
Rather than writing ‘podi’ in Hindi 
Lol! Podi …but tht is what we say in Tamil !
Strange!!!
Indy, but we say “Arisi Mavu” in tamil for rice flour !!! Hai na ???
we call it Ari podi in Malayalam
Yes tht is right Uma ! But when something is powdered down we also say podi…like vattal podi etc ?
I do think they can call it chawal ka atta though!
I luvv rotis that we make with chawal ka atta 
What special thing did u make with that Smithu
Akki roti, right ???
Haven’t had akki roti in ages! My aunt used to make them.
Making puttu today, Swaram
Yeah…podi is being used so commonly now…
I dont know the word for it in hindi….
A very familiar packet! Did you make appam or puttu with it?
As for podi, what is in a name, right?
I was trying to make puttu. Making it today
no idea i was actually confused cause i have never heard this word before… Now that i am thinking i cant think of a word for powder in hindi
and to be frank i did not even know there was something called RICE POWDER.. so what did U cook .. Forget about the word lets come to the business end of it.. WHAT did you coook …. he hehehe
LOL! We cook a lot of things with it
I am making puttu today 
LOL @ the pic and the conversation in the comments above!!
It has to be Chaawal ka Atta … though Powder in hindi is Choorna!
Lol, what is the right word? I thought of all the things possible, but only came up with ‘masala’, which is SOOOO NOT podi. Btw, when is the Puttu recipe coming up?
Non-sense
lol! never noticed this before.Good spot !
how about mishran?
You are making Puttu? My husband is so fond of it, he’d fall at your feet to get some
Is it very difficult to make? Do you think I can attempt it? Can you please mail me the recipe, if at all?
but isnt that written Chaawal Poodi; poodi as in ‘go away,woman’ ??
What interpretation
chawal ka ata!
Hardly matters what the translation is…;) Whats important is what will be made out of it and how yummy would that taste….
My Hindi knowledge doesn;t permit me to think Smitha
Its chawal bura… not the bad wala bura but powder wala bura !!
Come to think of it, I don’t know the Hindi word for powder either. I refer to it as ‘podi’ as well…
I am seeing the hindi translation for the first time . Is it atta ?
LOL
It should be chawal ka atta…
Puttu, Papad, boiled moong dal, banana, sugar and good amount of desi ghee YUMMMM!!!!
Also my fav is Puttu with Channa gravy !!!
And ya, I just checked with my wife how to call Rice powder in Hindi. She smsd from her office and the sms goes as :
“O teri this is tough one… Pise hue chawal”
Now upto Hindi pundits to settle this matter
Now you are making me droool with all those puttu combinations
Yes, I gues it’s best to let the Hindi Pandits to decide 
well as long as every one knows what it means, does it matter?
That is certainly true
Makes no sense. Powder is ‘powder’ in Hindi also, although some might pronounce it as ‘Paauuder’.
Interesting. I can’t read any of it except the english so I will not even attempt to give you translations.
BUT everyone’s comments are VERY EDUCATIONAL.
powder is chooran or burada but instead chawal ka aata seems better.
